Does management do what it says?
Management confirmed they have exited the 5 lakh ticket size segment in vehicle finance due to resale difficulties and are now focusing on the 8 lakh to 15 lakh range. (4 met, 1 exceeded across 5 tracked commitments)
“We proposed to increase the gold loan portfolio at a consolidated level of 75% of total loan portfolio in a phased manner.”
The company has already surpassed the 5,000 branch target on a consolidated basis as of Q2 FY26. (1 exceeded, 4 met across 5 tracked commitments)
“But now we have consolidated many things and we are hopeful of bringing down the opex also by 2% towards the end of this year gradually.”
Impairment of financial instruments (credit costs) for Asirvad Microfinance dropped by 48.9% QoQ, significantly exceeding the 30% reduction target. (1 exceeded, 1 missed, 1 in progress, 1 met across 4 tracked commitments)
“So in the coming quarters, we will see at least 30% reduction from the credit cost to what we reported in Q1.”

What could break the thesis?
The risk remains high; the company offloaded a portion of the stressed portfolio to an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC) to manage profitability. (1 stable)
“In MSME, we had around 5% portfolio, which was unsecured. So the major challenge has come from that in MSME. And another thing, this quarter, we did some ARC that also has been bearing on the profitability.”
