    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jaipur, Dec 20 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; Non-banking financial institution Laxmi India Finance Limited has initiated its journey toward public listing by submitting a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The Jaipur-based company specialises in providing financial services to underserved segments of India's lending market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The company's history dates back to the early 1990s when it began as Deepak Finance &amp;amp; Leasing Company (DFL), established as a sole proprietorship by the founder's father. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;A significant transformation occurred in 2010 when the current promoter acquired the company's shares and control, leading to the integration of DFL's operations in 2011, which enhanced the organisation's overall capabilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Laxmi India Finance has developed a comprehensive portfolio of financial products, including MSME loans, vehicle financing, construction loans, and other financing solutions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Notably, more than 80% of its MSME loan offerings qualify as Priority Sector Lending under Reserve Bank of India guidelines, demonstrating the company's commitment to fostering economic growth through support for small businesses and entrepreneurs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;According to recent financial data, as of June 30, 2024, the company reported Assets Under Management (AUM) of Rs 1,035.53 crore. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The loan portfolio distribution shows a significant concentration in MSME loans, accounting for 75.49 per cent of total AUM, while vehicle loans comprise 17.46 per cent of the portfolio.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(KNN Bureau)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
