Builders in the bank’s command area viz Trichy, Chennai and Kumbakonam use this as a marketing tool for their ongoing projects. Kamakodi also said that compared to previous years, the demand from the builders for financing their projects has marginally reduced and the bank has also taken a cautious decision of restricting the exposure to real estate sector to the prescribed levels.
