Optimus Finance Limited equity shares have been permitted to trade on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) effective August 17, 2026. The admission expands the trading venues for the company’s equity shares, which are already listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

The NSE notified its members via circular No. 1355/2026 dated August 14, 2026, regarding the admission of Optimus Finance Limited securities to the Capital Market Segment. The company’s shares will be identified by the symbol OPTIFIN and will trade in a market lot size of 1.

Trading Details

The equity shares of Optimus Finance Limited carry a face value of ₹1 each. The total number of securities admitted for trading is 74,723,000. The ISIN for the equity shares is INE031G01022.

Regulatory Context

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. It is clarified that while the shares are now permitted to trade on the NSE, they remain listed on the BSE only. On the NSE platform, the securities will fall under the Permitted to Trade (PTT) category in accordance with applicable regulatory provisions.

Vruti Surti, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer of Optimus Finance Limited, signed the communication addressed to the Corporate Relationship Department of BSE Limited. The information is also available on the company’s website.

What the Numbers Show

The admission of 74,723,000 equity shares with a face value of ₹1 indicates a nominal aggregate face value of ₹74.7 million for the float admitted on the exchange. The decision to list under the 'Permitted to Trade' category suggests that the company may still be fulfilling certain listing formalities or capital requirements specific to full NSE listing, while allowing immediate market participation.

Optimus Finance Limited reported a sharp acceleration in consolidated revenue for the first quarter of FY26, driven by significant top-line expansion. The company’s consolidated income from operations rose 95% year-on-year to ₹603.2 lakh in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to ₹309.7 lakh in the same period last year. This growth follows a sequential increase from ₹580.6 lakh in the final quarter of FY25.

Despite the robust revenue growth, profitability metrics showed slight contraction. Consolidated net profit after tax fell 10% year-on-year to ₹21.8 lakh, down from ₹24.2 lakh in Q1FY25. On a sequential basis, net profit declined 6% from ₹23.4 lakh recorded in Q4FY25. Earnings per share (EPS) stood at ₹0.18 for both basic and diluted measures, unchanged from the prior year’s quarter but lower than the ₹0.19 recorded in the preceding quarter.

Standalone Performance

The standalone entity posted modest growth in operational activity. Turnover from operations increased marginally to ₹33.4 lakh from ₹32.3 lakh in the corresponding quarter of FY25. However, profit before tax more than tripled to ₹48.4 lakh from ₹13.0 lakh year-ago, aided by lower tax provisions. Consequently, standalone profit after tax rose 37% to ₹13.8 lakh from ₹10.1 lakh in Q1FY25.

What the Numbers Show

A notable divergence exists between the consolidated and standalone profit drivers. While consolidated net profit declined due to higher operational costs or interest expenses relative to revenue growth, the standalone segment saw a disproportionate jump in pre-tax profits despite flat revenue. This suggests that non-operating income or specific cost efficiencies at the holding company level may be offsetting broader group-level margin pressures.

Key Financial Metrics

The Board of Directors, chaired by Dipak V. Raval, approved the unaudited financial results in a meeting held on August 14, 2026. The results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and are available on the company’s website and stock exchange portals.
