Strong Loan Book and Disbursement Growth

Disbursements also saw a significant increase of 85% year-on-year, totaling INR 117 crore compared to INR 63 crore in the same period last year. This strong performance indicates effective market penetration and demand for the company's housing finance products.
Profitability and Net Worth Expansion

Management expects the cost-to-income ratio to decrease to around 62% in the coming quarters⏳, further boosting profitability.
Asset Quality Trends
Gross NPA improved to 1.88% in Q2 FY26 from 1.96% in Q2 FY25, reflecting better overall asset quality. However, Net NPA slightly increased to 0.64% from 0.59% in the previous year. Early delinquency indicators (DPD 0-30) also saw an increase to 4.65% from 4.10% last quarter, and DPD 60-90 increased to 1.96% from 1.79%. Management views these DPD fluctuations as normal, with overall DPD 1+ at 12% and 30+ at 7.32%.
