What L&T Finance does

Non-bank financial company of the Larsen & Toubro group, lending to rural, farm equipment, two-wheeler and micro/small-business borrowers.

Earns the gap between its borrowing costs and the interest on retail loans, plus fees; being a non-bank, it funds itself from bonds and bank loans rather than deposits. Since about 2021 it has been running down lending to builders and infrastructure to become a mostly retail lender. Parent L&T keeps a controlling stake.

In one line: India's smaller Ally Financial/OneMain Financial.
