The RBI-registered NBFC, which specializes in small-ticket vehicle financing products with high yields across rural, semi-urban, and under-banked markets, demonstrated strong execution-led growth supported by improving ground-level demand trends. Financial Performance and Growth Metrics The company's AUM has shown consistent growth trajectory, expanding from ₹155 crores to ₹212.49 crores. This achievement reflects the strength of the company's expanding distribution network, disciplined underwriting framework, and sustained demand across core markets. Management remains confident of achieving the ₹220 crore AUM target by the end of FY26.

The company operates across 4 states covering 40+ districts, serving over 107,875 customers without following any franchise or Direct Selling Agent (DSA) model. The company's operational footprint spans across: Gujarat: Multiple locations including Dabhoi, Dahod, Halol, Himmatnagar, Vyara, Mehsana, Vapi, Junagadh, and others Maharashtra: Extensive presence including Mumbai, Nashik, Kolhapur, Pune, Ahmednagar, and various other cities Madhya Pradesh: Operations in Dewas, Harda, Khandva, Ujjain, Ratlam, and other centers Rajasthan: Presence in Dungarpur Product Portfolio and Market Focus The company maintains a well-diversified portfolio led by new and used two-wheelers, ensuring balanced growth and risk distribution. The product range includes: Product Category Target Customer Average Ticket Size Loan Tenure New Two-Wheeler Loans Rural/Semi-urban customers Varies 6 to 36 months Used Two-Wheeler Loans Under-banked segments Varies 6 to 36 months Three-Wheeler Loans Commercial vehicle users Varies 6 to 60 months Used Four-Wheeler Loans Individual/commercial users Varies 6 to 60 months Personal Loans Individual customers Varies 6 to 36 months Property Loans Property owners Varies 6 to 84 months Asset Quality and Risk Management Asset quality remained stable during the quarter, with GNPA at 3.01%, reflecting prudent credit selection and consistent monitoring despite accelerated portfolio growth. Collection efficiency continues to remain strong at above 99%, underscoring the resilience of the borrower base and disciplined recovery framework. The company maintains almost 100% of loans backed by secured credit exposure, contributing to one of the lowest NPAs in the industry. While festive-led sales focus resulted in a marginal dip in collection efficiency, overall efficiency metrics demonstrate the strength of the company's risk-adjusted profitability profile. Market Drivers and Business Environment The reduction in GST on two-wheelers materially improved affordability, resulting in stronger vehicle sales and a notable pickup in disbursements during the quarter. This policy change supported the growth momentum witnessed in Q3FY26, which was execution-led and backed by improving ground-level demand trends. Capital Position and Funding AUM growth during the quarter has been partly funded through incremental borrowings, leading to a moderation in capital adequacy. However, the company's capital position remains comfortable and provides adequate headroom for calibrated expansion. The company is backed by leading banks and NBFCs, ensuring reliable capital flow for sustained operations. Outlook and Strategic Direction As the company enters Q4FY26 with strengthened infrastructure and strong pipeline visibility, management expects business momentum to remain healthy while continuing to balance growth with asset quality and capital prudence. The expansion positions the company well to sustain growth while maintaining operational control across its target markets in rural and semi-urban India.
