Square Yards Teams up with India's Reserve Bank for Lending Initiative

April 10, 2026

Square Yards has signed a Platform Service Provider Agreement with the Reserve Bank of India Innovation Hub (RBIH), making the portal an official partner on India's Unified Lending Interface (ULI).

ULI is the Reserve Bank of India's vision for a digital lending ecosystem, and Square Yards will collaborate with RBIH to provide services on two major projects that will integrate Square Yards' data and technology into the core of India's credit infrastructure.

The first initiative is e-valuation reports, which are AI-powered, data-driven property valuations built on real transactional data and location intelligence.

The second, title search reports, are comprehensive property due diligence, analysing registration records to establish ownership trails and surface title risks.

Speaking on LinkedIn, Tanuj Shori, CEO at Square Yards, said:

"When we started building our data and analytics capabilities, we always believed that the true value of real estate intelligence lies not just in helping buyers and sellers — but in enabling the broader financial ecosystem that supports them. [I'm] proud to share a milestone that I believe will redefine how real estate data powers credit in India. This is just the beginning."

The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of India, a regulatory body for the Indian banking system and the Indian currency. It is owned and operated by the Indian government's Ministry of Finance and is responsible for the control, issue and supply of the Rupee as well as the country's leading payment systems.

Square Yards reported in March that its growth momentum accelerated in Q3 FY26, delivering 47% year-on-year revenue growth and an 8% EBITDA margin for the quarter. The company, a diversified business that combines a traditional marketplace and several transactional real estate services, intends to float in the coming years and has shared its financial results publicly for some time.
