Capital Trust Limited has announced its entry into the gold loan business, a new financial services vertical for the company. As part of this launch, the company has opened its first dedicated gold loan branch in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, dated October 03, 2025. This marks a strategic diversification move beyond the company's existing microfinance and lending operations. Gold loans are a growing segment in India, driven by strong demand from small businesses and individuals needing short-term credit against gold collateral. The Aligarh branch will serve as the starting point for what could be a wider rollout across other regions.
This is a positive development as it signals business diversification into a high-demand, asset-backed lending segment, which could drive future revenue growth. Short-term impact on stock may be limited as it is just the first branch, but investors should watch for further expansion updates and loan book growth in this segment.
