Kotak Bank eyes mid-market loans amid slow big-corp demand

Kotak Mahindra Bank is expanding its mid-market corporate loan book, targeting companies with ₹500 crore to ₹1,500 crore in turnover. This segment, which has grown over 35% compounded annually since its launch, is expected to see 20-25% growth over the next five years. The bank aims for this mid-market book to reach at least 20% of its total corporate portfolio.
