The total revenue from operations rose by 18.1% to ₹21,605.79 crore. The profit before tax (PBT) also saw a substantial rise of 31.21% to ₹7,409.84 crore. The company booked 12.89 million new loans during the quarter, reflecting a 20% growth year-on-year. Additionally, assets under management (AUM) crossed the ₹5 lakh crore mark, reaching ₹5,09,975 crore, a 22% increase from the previous year. Despite an increase in loan losses and provisions, the company maintained a gross non-performing asset (NPA) ratio of 1.01%. The board has proposed a final dividend of ₹6 per equity share for FY26, which includes a special payout due to an exceptional gain from the sale of Bajaj Housing Finance shares. Rajiv Bajaj will step down from the board, while Pramit Jhaveri's reappointment as a non-executive independent director is pending shareholder approval.
