Aditya Birla Capital is entering the gold loan business, with plans to open dedicated branch networks for the service. Multiple outlets report that the company targets a total of around 1,000 gold loan branches over the next three years.
The launch is expected to begin with an initial rollout of about 200–300 dedicated branches by March 2027 (or by the end of FY27). The branches are to be set up across “high-potential” markets, with coverage described as moving toward a pan-India network. While the outlets broadly agree on the scale and timeline, they vary slightly in the phrasing of interim targets, with one reporting up to 300 branches by FY27 and others citing a range of 200–300 by March 2027.
Overall, the coverage centers on the company’s branch expansion plan as the primary near-term step in the gold loans foray, emphasizing the intended growth of a dedicated, multi-year footprint rather than changes to existing lending products.
