  • Aditya Birla Capital Ltd. (ABCL) reported a healthy quarter, with consol. PAT growing 26% YoY to INR2.15b. PAT from established businesses grew 36% YoY to INR2.88b. The quarter was marked by strong growth across business segments and a sharp improvement in the VNB margin in the life insurance segment.

This is attributable to a mix shift toward retail lending, which is higher-yielding than corporate lending. However, C/I ratio increased 400bp YoY to 32% due to this mix shift. PAT in this segment grew 35% YoY to INR2.24b. GNPL ratio was largely stable QoQ at 95bp, with PCR at 56%.
