Residential Real Estate Credit

Capital for the stage at which India’s homes are hardest to finance

Integrow extends structured credit to proven residential developers from land acquisition through approvals and construction to completion, and monitors each investment through to repayment.

Offered only to eligible investors by private placement. Not an offer or solicitation. Investments involve risk, including loss of capital.

Promoter-first underwriting for residential real estate credit.

A project is only as sound as the people delivering it. Every investment starts with promoter profiling: the promoter’s credibility, governance and conduct with past financiers, and a developer track record of completed, delivered projects. The site, the approvals and the cash flow come after.

We then finance those developers’ residential projects from the point land is secured to the point the project is complete. Investments are typically structured for 18 to 30 months, with repayment expected from project cash flows or a defined exit.

When: four stages we fund
01

Land acquisition

Capital to secure a project site with a clear path to approval.

02

Approvals

Funding through RERA, IOD and CC, the stage that sets a project’s timeline.

03

Early construction

From groundbreaking up to plinth, released against verified milestones.

04

Completion

Last-mile capital to finish construction and hand over homes.

Five disciplines in our credit policy.

Our investment policy sets these rules before any transaction is considered, so they apply to every deal in the same way.

Illustration of land, construction and milestone-linked repayment

No land banking.

We fund land only when it is acquired for a planned project with a clear path to approval, never land held for price appreciation.

Secured exposure only.

Each commitment carries a defined security package. Security reduces, but does not remove, the risk of loss.

Covenants are enforced as documented.

Our policy is not to waive defaults.

Capital follows milestones.

We release each tranche after our team verifies progress on site.

Enforcement within 60 days.

Our policy is to begin legal action within sixty days of a trigger.

How we underwrite residential construction finance.

We review more than a hundred opportunities a year. Most do not pass the first screen. We examine the rest on four fronts before the Investment Committee sees them.

GATE 01 ·

The developer

Every developer is scored on our 22-point scorecard. At least one million square feet delivered, which we verify. We check the credit and legal history of founders and every related entity, and we ask past financiers how they were repaid.

GATE 02 ·

The project

We verify RERA, IOD and CC approvals independently and check pricing against the micro-market.

GATE 03 ·

The cash flow

An escrow account controls every inflow and outflow. We stress-test loan-to-value and loan-to-cost, and require interest cover of at least 1.5× in the base case.

GATE 04 ·

The structure

We take an exclusive charge over project assets and receivables, plus personal guarantees where the case calls for them. Counsel validates the enforcement documents before we commit.

Process & decision protocol
01

Screen

We remove land-only, speculative and poorly governed proposals at the first gate.

02

Commit

An independent Investment Committee scores the risk. We commit only on a unanimous vote.

03

Govern

We disburse against verified milestones and inspect sites periodically.

Leadership

Ram Yadav, Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Ram Yadav

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Ram Yadav has spent 25 years on the capital side of Indian real estate, across investment banking, structured finance and asset management. As Chief Executive Officer of Edelweiss Real Estate, he deployed over US$533 million and built an institutional real estate lending book, supported by an integrated distribution platform. At Shapoorji Pallonji, he went on to lead the resolution of more than fifteen stressed developments.

He founded Integrow to institutionalise real estate credit in India. His career spans both ends of the credit cycle: originating institutional credit at scale, and working through recoveries after projects failed. Integrow was built to turn that judgment into a repeatable system, applied consistently across underwriting, monitoring and investor reporting. It is the reason the firm underwrites the downside first.

Category II AIF questions from investors

Who can invest, and what is the minimum?

Family offices, institutions and HNI/UHNI investors who meet AIF eligibility criteria. SEBI sets a minimum commitment of ₹1 crore for most investors. Non-resident Indians may invest, subject to conditions on eligibility and approvals.

What is the term, and can I exit early?

Category II AIFs are close-ended, so units generally cannot be redeemed on demand. Each fund’s Private Placement Memorandum sets its term and any extension, which requires investor approval where the regulations say so.

How are distributions made?

As the fund receives interest and repayments from its investments, it distributes them to investors on the schedule set out in its Private Placement Memorandum. Distributions are not guaranteed.

What happens if a developer delays or defaults?

We review the cause, escalate to the Investment Committee and act under the transaction documents, starting legal action within sixty days of a trigger. Enforcement can take longer than planned and may recover less than is owed. Investors can lose capital.

What will I receive as an investor?

Quarterly reports on each fund’s portfolio, with valuation and audit as set out in its Private Placement Memorandum. Investors also have access to an online portfolio dashboard.

How is an investment in the fund taxed?

It depends on the type of income, the fund’s structure and your own status. Please take advice from your tax adviser; the Private Placement Memorandum sets out the fund’s tax position.

Private enquiry

Discuss a mandate with our investment team.

For eligible investors and their advisers. Tell us what your mandate needs and a senior member of the team will respond personally. An enquiry carries no commitment and is not an offer of fund interests.
