Key Takeaways
- •Core income and profit for the quarter were above expectations.
- •Asset quality remained sluggish during the first quarter.
- •Loan losses and provisions rose to ₹1,463 crore from ₹1,409 crore in March.
- •Return on assets increased from a year earlier.

Shriram Finance’s first-quarter results showed that core income and profit came in above expectations, even as asset quality remained sluggish.
For investors and lenders watching India’s non-banking finance companies, the update matters because provisioning and asset quality trends often shape how much room a lender has to support growth while keeping credit costs in check. In this case, the company’s quarterly performance suggests underlying earnings strength, but the higher loan losses and provisions point to continued pressure on the balance sheet side of the business.
Loan losses and provisions for the quarter stood at ₹1,463 crore, compared with ₹1,409 crore in March. Return on assets increased from a year earlier, while return on equity declined.
The company’s quarterly performance was reported by CNBC-TV18 Markets.
