We delivered a healthy expansion in our retail loan portfolio along with sustaining robust asset quality and profitability. The continued focus on disciplined collections and portfolio management resulted in GNPA improving to sub-1% levels. Our Return on Asset improved during the year, supported by strong financial performance and prudent management practices.

The successful restart of our corporate lending business during the year represents a key strategic milestone and reinforces our confidence in calibrated, risk-aligned growth opportunities. Technology remained a critical enabler across the organisation, driving operational efficiencies and enabling a more seamless, transparent, and superior customer experience.

Aligned with our core purpose of enabling home ownership, we reached an important milestone during the year by facilitating over 5,000 subsidy benefits for our customers under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY-U 2.0). As we look ahead, we remain steadfast in our role as a responsible housing finance institution, committed to nation-building by enabling more home ownership dreams across geographies and income segments.”
