In the fourth quarter, the share of Indiabulls Housing Finance Company has raised 11 per cent to Rs 307 crore. Mainly, the growth was led by lower credit costs and higher profit from its co-lending business.
The same was Rs 276 crore in the year-ago quarter.

“The profit grew on the back of lower credit cost and higher profit from co-lending business and securitization,” its deputy managing director Ashwini Kumar Hooda said.
