The bank is also engaged in commercial scale dairy development loan scheme (CSDDLS) throughout its 33 branches islandwide with the participation of CBSL on several training programmes for entrepreneurs and financial literacy programmes on regional basis.

HDFC Bank housing finance facilities are available to all socio-economic groups in the country.
Over the year HDFC has strategically distributed its loan portfolio proportionately among all income segments of the population. Over 70% of the loan portfolio has been distributed to the low and middle income populations that represent 60% to 70% of the population. As a result, HDFC's main market is the low and mid-income sectors which include rural and urban populations.
The bank expects to open branches in Nittambuwa, Nikawaratiya, Ambalangoda, Polonnaruwa, Kiribathgoda and Deniyaya in the near future for which regulatory approval has already been obtained.
