Piramal Finance, under the leadership of managing director and CEO Jairam Sridharan, anticipates a 25% growth in its assets under management (AUM), aiming for approximately ₹1.25 trillion by the end of fiscal year 2027. The company also expects profits to surge by 50%, following a threefold increase in the current year. Sridharan indicated that the non-banking financial company (NBFC) is looking to divest stakes in its non-core businesses, with plans to take action in FY27. Recently, Piramal Finance sold its stake in Shriram Life Insurance for ₹600 crore. The company will also expand its presence by adding 170 branches, primarily in rural areas, to support its gold loans and microfinance initiatives, which are expected to constitute 10% of its overall portfolio in the next three to four years. Additionally, the firm plans to increase unsecured lending by 2-3 percentage points from the current 18%, as risks in this sector have moderated.
