Q2’FY26 Snapshot: Strategic Initiatives and Expansion
Equity Fund raise:
Equity raise amounting to ~INR 535 Cr through CCDs for Profectus acquisition; investor Samena Capital infused ~INR 241 Cr
existing
Focus on Emerging Market (EM) channel: 303 EM branches with AUM mix increased to ~25% as of Sep’25; added 90 branches in H1’FY26
Building up Embedded finance:
Our embedded finance platform, MSL continues to gain momentum with AUM reaching INR 1,270 Cr within short span of 4 quarters
Reduced Disbursals in H1’FY26(1):
Credit Ratings update (long-term):
Stable Asset Quality:
Q2’FY26 net loan disbursals at INR 1,789 vs INR 1,971 in Q2’FY25; H1’FY26 net loan originated at INR 3,388 Cr vs INR 3,118 Cr in H1’FY25
‘IND A+/ Rating watch with Positive Implications’ by India Ratings and ‘Crisil A/ Rating watch with Developing Implications’ by CRISIL on Profectus Capital Acquisition and Capital raise
GNPA at AUM maintained at 2.4% with all portfolio parameters stable; coverage provision maintained at 47%.
(1) UGRO in last 3 years have added AUM of ~INR 3,000 Cr annually. UGRO’s proposed acquisition of Profectus Capital would add ~INR 3,000 Cr to our AUM inorganically. In light of this, we have recalibrated current year’s disbursals so that we can reduce our liability requirements leading to lower cost of borrowing in future. This has been done by adopting tightened underwriting – this approach also augers well with current macro headwinds in small ticket MSME loans.
