Funding and Asset Quality Insights
During the earnings call held on July 30, 2026, management highlighted that the average cost of borrowing decreased by 55 basis points to 9.25% compared to the corresponding period last year. Chairman and Managing Director Kamlesh Gandhi noted that the company maintains a target spread of 7% to 7.5%, translating into net interest margins (NIMs) of 8% to 8.5%. The company raised ₹400 crore through term loans and ₹650 crore through non-convertible debentures (NCDs), including ₹360 crore subscribed by FMO, the Dutch Development Bank.
Regarding asset quality, Gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPA) stood at 2.58% and Net Non-Performing Assets (NNPA) at 1.70%, unchanged from March 2026. Management attributed the stability to the resilience of MSME borrowers and prudent credit screening, particularly in energy-dependent sectors affected by the West Asia crisis. Credit costs remained range-bound between 1.25% and 1.75% of AUM, with standard asset provisioning increasing from 0.65% to 0.7% due to higher on-book assets.
