Executive summary

  • Q3 FY26 marked by recalibration, resilience, and cautious optimism amid regulatory changes, with a net loss of ₹37,501.76 lakh for the quarter and ₹96,296.28 lakh for nine months, compared to a profit in the prior year period.

  • Strategic focus on stability, quality, and resilience over short-term growth, reflected in a 16% contraction of the JLG portfolio and a 3.9% year-on-year reduction in the gross loan book.

  • Strong growth in microbanking business loans (MBBL), up 80% year-on-year and 38% quarter-on-quarter, now 19% of the microbanking loan book.

  • Non-JLG lending, including MSME, housing, and business banking, grew 28% year-on-year, with robust expansion in secured asset classes.

  • Asset quality initiatives and operational discipline led to improved collection efficiency, but asset quality deteriorated due to microfinance disruptions.

Financial highlights

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
