Third Party Dependencies
17% of the resource profile depends on securitization and co-lending arrangements with third-party banks.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Mitigated by ongoing investments in AI-led risk systems and a robust digital phygital model.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Gross NPA was 2.1% and Net NPA was 1.0% as of September 30, 2025. Capital adequacy (CRAR) remains strong at 28.2% (Consolidated), well above the 15% regulatory requirement.
