Commenting on the business performance, Mr. Ganesh Narayanan, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of CreditAccess Grameen Ltd, remarked, “The Company delivered a steady and disciplined performance in Q1 FY27. AUM grew 16.4% YoY to INR 30,319 crore, notwithstanding the typical Q1 seasonality and continued write-offs over the past 12 months. Retail Finance now constitutes 20.6% of AUM, up from 18.1% a quarter ago, driven by the graduation of long-vintage, credit-tested customers into secured, higher-ticket products, a trend that is expected to gain further momentum. During the quarter, we also completed a private NCD issuance of INR 425 crore, which further diversifies our liability base. Our overall funding profile remains healthy, with foreign borrowings at 23.9% of our liability mix and capital position remaining strong with CRAR at 24.9%.
Our asset quality metrics remained within our expected range through the quarter, supported by sustained collection efficiency across all operating geographies. Our continued ability to recover quickly, drove strong improvement in profitability, a trend now visible for the second consecutive quarter. We expect this trajectory to be sustained through the rest of the year helping achieve our FY27 performance guidance. Operating metrics continued to strengthen, with PPOP up 33.6% YoY to INR 873 crore, followed by 62.8% YoY decline in Credit Cost to INR 212 crore, resulting in a PAT of INR 493 crore, up 719.7% YoY. These outcomes lay a strong foundation to undertake ‘Project Shakti,’ our transformational journey anchored in the strength and resilience of the communities we serve.”
