💡 Why this combination is interesting

Kerala Central Bank borrowers average 28 lakh tickets, with Kochi and Trivandrum metropolitan demand pulling tickets to 42 lakh and tier-3 Palakkad and Kannur balancing the lower end at 18 lakh. The bank competes against Federal Bank and South Indian Bank where regional brand loyalty runs deep, so Central Bank focuses on central government and railway employees.

NRI Gulf-returnee borrowers form a distinct segment with preference for ready possession over under-construction.
