CHENNAI: Following its expansion into Karnataka, Andhra and Telangana earlier this year, Sundaram Home Finance (HF) has now forayed into Puducherry in the emerging business segment that comprises affordable housing finance and working capital loans.

The company is targeting disbursements of over Rs 10 crores in the initial phase in this segment in Puducherry.
