How will Ujjivan SFB's strategy to diversify its loan portfolio align with RBI's requirements for a Universal Banking License, and what timeline can investors realistically expect for a reapplication?
Given the explosive growth in Gold Loan (292% YoY) and Agri Banking (127% YoY) segments, how might concentration risk in these newer verticals impact asset quality if commodity prices or rural incomes deteriorate?
With Capital Adequacy Ratio declining from 23.10% to 21.14% YoY amid aggressive 27% loan book growth, will the bank need to raise fresh capital to sustain its FY27 target of ~25% loan book growth without breaching regulatory thresholds?
