2. State of Company’s Affairs/ Performance
In FY 2025-26, the total income of the Company declined by 18.77%, from Rs. 638.00 Crore in FY 2024-25 to Rs. 518.25 Crore. However, this impact was significantly offset by a 30.08% reduction in finance costs, which decreased to Rs. 224.49 Crore from Rs. 321.06 Crore in the previous financial year. The spread on the earning portfolio (Stage I & II) declined to 1.33% in FY 2025-26, compared to 1.92% in FY 2024-25. The Net Interest Margin (NIM) on Stage I & II earning assets increased slightly to 4.49%, as against 4.25% in the previous year. EBITDA increased by 2.55%, amounting to Rs 621.62 Crore in FY 2025-26 as compared to Rs 606.14 crore in FY 2024-25, other expenses reduced by 12.99%, amounting to Rs. 20.90 Crore in FY 2025-26 as compared to Rs. 24.02 Crore in FY 2024-25 and reduction in Impairment of financial instrument amounting to Rs. (151.03) Crore in FY 2025-26 as compared to Rs (11.06) Crore in FY 2024¬ 25. Total comprehensive income has increased by 48.41% from Rs. 215.42 Crore to Rs. 319.70 Crore, mainly due to reduction in impairment cost.
During the year, the Debt/ Equity ratio of the Company improved to 0.57 from 1.03 in FY 2024-25. Further, all outstanding borrowings in FY 2025-26 are long-term borrowings. The Company is contemplating to maintain majority of its borrowings in the form of long term credit lines to have better ALM and cash flow. The Company has maintained sufficient
liquidity in the form of High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) as per RBI guidelines and undrawn lines of credit to meet its financial obligations. However, the Company is in the process of raising credit lines/funds to improve the liquidity and achieve growth.
As at March 31, 2026, for loans under stage I and stage II, the management has determined the value of secured portion on the basis of best available information including book value of assets/ projects as per latest available balance sheet of the borrowers, technical and cost certificates provided by the experts and valuation of underlying assets performed by external professionals appointed either by the Company or consortium of lenders. For loan under stage III, the management has determined the value of secured portion on the basis of best available information, including valuation of underlying assets by external consultant/ resolution professional (RP) for loan assets under IBC proceedings, sustainable debt under resolution plan, claim amount in case of litigation and proposed resolution for loan under resolution through Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) or settlement.
In July 2025, the Company implemented an updated Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Policy, effective from April 1, 2025, which has been duly reviewed and adopted by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. This updated policy has been considered for the preparation of financial results for all the quarters and annual accounts for the year ended 31st March 2026. The updated policy is duly amended wherever needed in the accounting policy. The updated policy aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of credit loss provisioning by aligning it with various critical parameters, including Borrowers’ repayment history, Past delinquency trends, Internal credit ratings, Prevailing industry practices. This harmonized approach ensures a more risk-sensitive and forward-looking assessment of credit risk. However, the final impact of the expected credit loss allowance will be influenced by the outcomes of ongoing borrower resolutions, particularly those under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), which continue to evolve and may affect recoverable amounts. The conclusive assessment of the impact in the subsequent period, related to expected credit loss allowance of loan assets, is dependent upon the circumstances as they evolve, including final settlement of resolution of projects/assets of borrowers under IBC.
During the FY 2025-26, with the focused efforts of the management, the portfolio quality improved. During the year, gross Stage III have decreased from Rs. 711 Crore in FY 2024-25 to Rs. 190.03 Crore in FY 2025-26 and net NPAs have decreased from Rs. 117 Crore in FY 2024-25 to Rs. 46.98 Crore in FY 2025-26. Further, the Company’s focus on enhancing business resulted in disbursements increasing to Rs. 1,235 Crore in FY 2025-26 compared to Rs. 916 Crore in FY 2024-25, a growth of about ~35%.
The profit before tax (PBT) for FY 2025-26 stood at Rs. 389.70 Crore vis¬ a-vis Rs. 278.52 Crore in FY 2024-25. The profit after tax (PAT) for FY 2025-26 stood at Rs. 319.36 Crore against Rs. 217.05 Crore in FY 2024-25.
