Net Income Margin expanded by 14 basis points (bps) YoY and 23 bps Quarter-over-Quarter (QoQ) to 6.5% in Q4 FY26, supported by an improved portfolio mix and moderating costs of borrowing.

Segment Growth and Market Development​

The retail segment was a primary growth engine. Retail AUM grew 33% YoY, reaching ₹ 85,885 Cr, constituting 85% of the total AUM. The Mortgage AUM specifically grew 32% YoY to ₹ 57,837 Cr, which accounts for 57% of the total AUM. For the fourth quarter, retail disbursements grew 34% YoY to ₹ 13,101 Cr.

  • Securing US$350 mn of inaugural DFI funding from IFC & ADB.
  • Adding ₹ 10,110 Cr of assessed tax losses, bringing cumulative assessed tax losses to approximately ₹ 24,600 Cr.

Focus on Digitalization and AI Adoption​

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was central to the company's operational improvements. Piramal.ai adoption grew over 3x in FY26.

AI analysis was deployed across underwriting, collections, and customer service:
  • Underwriting: AI analyzed approximately 1.99 lakh bank statements in Q4 FY26, enabling faster and more consistent credit decisions.
  • Fraud Detection: AI agents flagged over 19 lakh fraud cases in Q4 FY26, doubling detection volumes compared to Q1 FY26.
  • Collections: AI-driven, hands-free monthly collections increased nearly 10x, reaching ₹ 834 crore per month in Q4 FY26 from ₹ 84 crore in Q1 FY26.

The deployment of AI also delivered operating leverage, leading to disbursement per branch rising 19% YoY and per employee increasing 14% in Q4 FY26, without requiring a linear increase in manpower.
