Commenting on the financial results, Mr. Sudipta Roy, Managing Director & CEO, LTF, said, “Q3FY26 for the financial services sector has been defined by a powerful convergence of favourable macro-tailwinds. The implementation of GST 2.0, good monsoons, and a series of repo rate cuts have seen a surge in consumption and created an environment for growth. In Q3FY26, LTF’s focus remained on delivering a standout performance across business segments. We registered the highest ever quarterly disbursements of Rs. 22,701 Crore, up 49% YoY, and the retail portfolio reaching Rs.1,11,990 Crore, reflecting a growth of 21% YoY leading to a PAT of Rs. 760 Crore, up 21% YoY (without the impact of a one-time exceptional item).

Our proprietary AI driven next-gen digital credit engine ‘Project Cyclops’ is now implemented in Personal Loans in addition to Two-wheeler, Farm Equipment, and SME Finance businesses. It will go live in Home Loans and Loan Against Property and Rural Group Loans and MFI businesses in the new financial year. At LTF, we are no longer just automating processes, we are deploying predictive intelligence at scale. Our portfolio management engine, ‘Project Nostradamus,’ is now live in Beta for Two-wheeler Finance, while ‘Project Helios,’ our AI Underwriting Co-Pilot is live in SME Finance. The recent launch of ‘Project Orion’ – Nostradamus Co-pilot in December 2025 has brought automated conversational intelligence to our portfolio management, ensuring we stay ahead of risk while enhancing customer experience. We remain focused on continuously strengthening our risk and credit frameworks, which will serve us well in times to come.
Furthermore, through our RAISE’ 25 conference and the ‘Pitch Point’ competition launched as a part of RAISE, we are nurturing a new ecosystem of AI entrepreneurship and thought leadership. We are confident that our focused actions will not only ensure a sustainable and resilient performance in the coming quarters, but also truly transform LTF into a risk-first, tech-first, diversified retail finance company.”
