Advances Growth:
Advances grew by 24% YoY to Rs.4,62,261 crore from Rs.3,73,924 crore.
Growth was primarily driven by recently launched segments such as Gold Loans (+85% YoY), Open Market 2W & 3W Finance (+45% YoY), and Car Loans (+33% YoY).
Additionally, strong traction was seen in Commercial Lending (+27% YoY), Loan against Securities (+26% YoY), Mortgages (+25% YoY), and Urban B2C Loans (+25% YoY).
The company has curtailed MSME lending (~11% of AUM) due to emerging stress in the segment, as guided in the Q1FY26 conference call.
Consequently, management has slightly trimmed AUM growth guidance from ~23–24% to ~22–23%.
Net interest income:
Net interest income (NII) grew by 22% YoY to Rs.12,853 crore from Rs.10,578 crore.
Interest income grew faster (+19% YoY) than interest expenses (+14% YoY).
Operating expenses:
Operating expenses increased 18% YoY to Rs.4,296 crore from Rs.3,639 crore, while the cost-to-income ratio improved by 60 bps to 32.6% from 33.2%.
The company’s FINAI programme (Finance + AI), which leverages artificial intelligence to reduce costs and enhance productivity, is expected to deliver tangible benefits in the next 12–18 months.
Provision and contingencies:
Provisions and contingencies rose 19% YoY to Rs.2,269 crore from Rs.1,909 crore, primarily due to higher provisioning in the MSME segment.
Elevated credit costs were also observed in the captive 2W and 3W portfolios, which are being gradually run down.
Excluding these two segments, credit costs across other portfolios remained stable.
Profitability:
PAT grew by 23% YoY to Rs.4,944 crore from Rs.4,010 crore.
RoA and RoE remained healthy and stable at 4.5% and 19.1%, respectively.
Cost of Fund:
The cost of funds declined by 45 bps YoY to 7.52% from 7.97%.
For FY26, management expects cost of funds to remain in the range of 7.55–7.60%.
The company is reducing reliance on deposits (which contributed ~18% of consolidated borrowings) to optimise overall funding costs.
Asset quality:
GNPA/NNPA increased marginally by 18/14 bps to 1.24%/0.60% from 1.06%/0.46%, mainly due to stress in the MSME segment and the run-down of the captive 2W & 3W portfolios.
Overall asset quality remains strong, supported by diversification and disciplined underwriting.
Other Update:
Structural reforms in income tax and GST by the Government lifted-up consumer sentiment and spurred consumption. These initiatives led to a strong festive season performance for consumption loans for the Company.
The Company has seen a strong momentum in consumption finance during the festive season (Navratri to Diwali), disbursing a record 6.3 MM consumer loans, recording a growth of 27% in volume and 29% in value as compared to the same period last year.
