Commenting on the results and performance, Mr. Ganesh Narayanan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (Designate) of CreditAccess Grameen, said, “We have commenced FY26 with a positive business momentum, setting the tone for the year ahead. Our Q1 FY26 performance reflects progress across all key dimensions of the business with the highest-ever first-quarter disbursements of INR 5,458 crore. We witnessed a broad-based decline in monthly new delinquency rate across all operating geographies, reducing to 0.46% in June 2025, from 1.34% in November 2024 supported by stable manpower, disciplined customer engagement and consistent reduction in customer leverage. Our growing workforce, with employee count rising from 20,970 in March 2025 to 21,333 in June 2025, while maintaining a controlled annualised attrition rate of 27.1% for Q1 FY26, has translated into improved customer servicing and supporting our asset quality outcomes.
At the same time, our liability profile saw robust traction where we raised INR 2,570 crore, including partial drawdowns from USD 100 million multi-currency syndicated social loan facility comprising of JPY and USD denominated commitments. This landmark deal with participation from leading lenders from South Asia and Far East, was priced competitively at par with domestic borrowings and below our average cost of borrowing. On the diversification front, the share of our Retail Finance portfolio, the strategic growth lever, increased YoY from 2.9% to 6.8% of the AUM. The outlook for FY26 remains encouraging, with favourable monsoon forecasts and strengthening rural sentiment, laying the groundwork for sectoral revival.”
