It will use the debt line to expand its lending operations across segments like consumer, education and small business loans.

“InCred is strengthening its funding base to support its growth vision. The recently concluded debt issuance is an endorsement of our business model, risk and analytics philosophy and our prudent ALM policies,” said Vivek Bansal, Group CFO, InCred.

InCred had earlier raised Rs 600 crore in equity Series A funding round, which was led by Dutch development finance institution FMO.
