Truhome Finance IPO: Key risks
However, the housing finance companies pose a set of risks that investors need to be aware of. Here are four key risks around capital borrowing and adequacy for Truhome Finance and the industry –
High Debt-to-equity ratio
The requirement for substantial financing and the associated capital structure risks are central to Truhome Finance’s business model as a rapidly growing HFC. As of December 31, 2025, the Debt-to-Equity Ratio was 3.22 times, as per the data on DRHP.
| Time | Debt-to-equity |
| 9MFY26 | 3.22x |
| FY25 | 3.30x |
| FY24 | 5.00x |
| FY23 | 4.84x |
As per the data, the reduction in leverage since 2024 is largely due to significant equity infusions by their Promoter, Mango Crest (Warburg Pincus Group), and the conversion of compulsorily convertible debentures into equity. The IPO proceeds are intended to further augment this capital base to support future lending.
The Promoter, Mango Crest, strengthened the company’s capital base through a Rs 1,200 crore infusion in late 2024 and a subsequent Rs 417.12 crore infusion in 2025 to support business expansion. The promoter also converted 40,000 compulsorily convertible debentures into equity shares in December 2024.
However, Truhome Finance maintained a higher debt-to-equity ratio than all listed peers till December 31, 2025.
| Company | 9MFY26 | FY25 |
| Truhome Finance | 3.22 | 3.3 |
| Aavas Financiers | 3 | 3.18 |
| Aadhar Housing Finance | 2 | 2.56 |
| Home First Finance Company India | 2 | 3.79 |
| Grihum Housing Finance | 2 | 2.49 |
| India Shelter Finance Corporation | 2 | 1.83 |
| Aptus Value Housing Finance India | 2 | 1.59 |
| Vastu Housing Finance | 1 | 1.43 |
Diversified sourcing of capital
The company maintains a diversified liability profile with 48 different lenders to mitigate the risk of disruption from any single source. Their borrowing mix as of late 2025 included:
- Term Loans from Banks: 36.40% (the largest single component).
- NHB Refinance: 17.61% (lower-cost funding from the National Housing Bank).
- External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs): 16.65% (syndicated loans from international banks).
- Secured NCDs: 12.66% (listed on the BSE debt segment).
- Securitisation (PTCs): 11.53% (off-balance sheet funding).
Vulnerability to interest rate volatility
Volatility in the cost of capital poses a significant risk because finance costs are the company’s largest expense, accounting for 60.26% of total expenses for the third quarter of FY26.
Floating Rate Risk: The company’s 59.52% of borrowings are linked to floating interest rates. If market rates rise, their interest expense increases immediately, potentially squeezing their “Spread”. It is the difference between the earnings on loans and the money paid for debt.
Recent Costs: The average cost of borrowings was 8.85% on an annual basis for 2025, though their average cost of incremental borrowings (new debt) was lower at 7.86%.
Regulatory and liquidity constraints
Housing finance companies are required to maintain a minimum capital-to-risk-weighted-assets ratio (CRAR) of 15%, which is also known as the Capital Adequacy Ratio. Truhome’s CRAR was a healthy 37.76% as of December 31, 2025, but continuous growth requires constant capital supply to stay above regulatory floors.
| Capital Adequacy Ratio (CRAR) Comparison (%) | ||||
| Company | 9MFY26 | FY25 | FY24 | FY23 |
| Aptus Value Housing Finance India | 70.50% | 71.31% | 73.03% | 77.38% |
| India Shelter Finance Corporation | 56.87% | 60.55% | 70.91% | 52.66% |
| Grihum Housing Finance | 52.49% | 48.83% | 47.31% | 34.83% |
| Home First Finance Company India | 48.97% | 32.84% | 39.48% | 49.38% |
| Aavas Financiers | 46.39% | 44.50% | 43.99% | 46.96% |
| Aadhar Housing Finance | 44.06% | 44.61% | 38.46% | 42.73% |
| Truhome Finance | 37.76% | 36.28% | 24.38% | 26.14% |
| Vastu Housing Finance | NA | 59.35% | 63.76% | 67.62% |
Asset liability mismatch: The housing finance companies face fundamental risks because housing loans have long tenors, while borrowings are often shorter-term. A mismatch can lead to liquidity crunches if they cannot “roll over” their debt.
Also, the companies’ ability to borrow cheaply depends on their AA (Stable) rating. Any downgrade would trigger immediate increases in borrowing costs and could potentially cause lenders to call off existing loans.
Conclusion
All in all, the company’s debt-to-equity ratio stood higher than its competitors, and its capital adequacy ratio stands at the lowest level among its peers. This shows that the company aggressively expanded its loans or assets using debt, but is likely to bring it into structure via IPO money.
