“We are definitely looking at doubling our transactions to about 40 lakh this financial year. That will be about Rs 7,000 crore (in value terms). Last year we did about 20 lakh transactions across all our branches (for about Rs 3,500 crore)” he said.
Muthoot Finance offers gold loans to customers and has about 4,000 branches across the country.
Referring to the company’s assets under management, he said it was hoping to reach about Rs 24,000 crore soon.
