AUM stood at Rs 30,571 crore as of March 31, 2026, registering a year-on-year growth of 20%, while Profit after Tax for FY2026 grew by 22% YoY to Rs 1,108 crore. Our strategic 'Urban and Emerging' branch model continues to deliver strong outcomes, with the network expanding to over 626 branches, deepening our reach across underserved and high-potential markets. Demand remains largely end-user driven, led by first-time homebuyers in emerging markets, while witnessing encouraging traction in urban markets, reinforcing our balanced and diversified growth strategy. Government initiatives such as PMAY 1.0 and PMAY 2.0 continue to support affordability for these customers, and we expect this to remain an important driver of demand going forward. During the year, we also made focused investments in AI capabilities, which are beginning to reflect in improved turnaround times, stronger underwriting, and enhanced collections efficiency. We have started leveraging AI-led tools in select parts of the loan lifecycle and see this as an important area of development as we continue to scale. Asset quality trends remain stable, supported by strong collection efficiency and disciplined underwriting, reflecting healthy borrower behaviour. Our focus remains on expanding our presence in underserved markets, improving productivity, and leveraging technology to enhance efficiency across the loan lifecycle. Looking ahead, we remain confident in the medium-term outlook for the affordable housing segment. With strong structural drivers, improving operating leverage, and our continued focus on execution, we are well positioned to sustain growth while maintaining portfolio quality and delivering consistent returns."
