Who is our prospective customer?

The company provides asset-backed financing in the vehicle and MSME lending segments, targeting underserved entrepreneurs in rural and semi-urban areas. It currently serves 458,000 clients across 648 branches in 12 states.
What is our funding objective?
Our funding will be used to support SK's portfolio growth, facilitating access to finance for underserved microentrepreneurs and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Additionally, part of our funding will be allocated towards financing CNG vehicles, which produce lower emissions compared to petrol and diesel vehicles.

Why do we want to fund this investment?
By partnering with SK, FMO can reach the underserved MSME segment in the rural and semi-urban areas of northwestern India, thereby contributing to the reduction of inequalities. Furthermore, by financing CNG vehicles, FMO can help reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, thereby contributing to climate action.
What is the Environmental and Social categorization rationale?
SK is categorized as an FI-C client, given the size and purpose of its portfolio loans. The company has no exposure to activities on FMO’s exclusion list, IFC Performance Standards (IFC-PS) triggered transactions, or high-risk sector exposures.
