Shalibhadra Finance Ltd, a retail-focused NBFC serving rural and semi-urban segments, reported strong FY26 results with AUM growing 24.81% to ₹219.66 Crores. Net Interest Income rose 15.03% to ₹35.95 Crores and PAT increased 21.67% to ₹19.48 Crores. However, Net Interest Margin contracted from 20.14% to 18.17%, while asset quality saw slight deterioration with GNPA rising from 2.87% to 2.94% and NNPA from 0.74% to 1.17%. The company announced plans to target ₹500 Crore AUM by FY29 through branch expansion (from 61 to 100 branches), geographic expansion into Karnataka, Goa, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, and new products including Micro LAP, Home Loans and Tractor Loans. Management stated ₹1000 Crore AUM is achievable without further equity raise.
The company's strong PAT growth and capital position are positives, but the compressed NIM and rising NPAs suggest margin pressure and asset quality concerns. The explicit multi-year AUM target of ₹500 Crore by FY29 provides clear visibility on growth trajectory, though execution in new geographies and products carries execution risk.
