Bajaj Finserv reported a consolidated net profit of ₹2,229 crore in Q3FY26, slightly lower than ₹2,231 crore in the same quarter last year. While profit stayed largely flat, the quarter was impacted by higher provisions and one-time charges.
The company booked an accelerated expected credit loss (ECL) provision after strengthening its provisioning framework. It also accounted for a one-time labour code-related charge, which together reduced overall profitability.
Despite the profit dip, the company delivered strong growth in its top line. Total revenue from operations rose 24% year-on-year to ₹39,708 crore, compared with ₹32,042 crore in Q3FY25.
Interest income, a key driver for the group, increased 17.5% to ₹20,449 crore, up from ₹17,409 crore a year earlier. Dividend income also improved sharply, rising to ₹80 crore from ₹24 crore in the year-ago period.
Loan losses and provisions for the quarter stood at ₹3,625 crore. On the asset quality front, gross NPA came in at 1.21%, while net NPA was 0.47% at the end of the December quarter.
This compared with 1.12% gross NPA and 0.48% net NPA in the same period last year, showing a slight rise in gross stress but stable net NPA levels.
Bajaj Finserv’s insurance subsidiaries delivered solid growth during the quarter. Bajaj General Insurance reported gross written premium of ₹7,389 crore, up 12% from ₹6,626 crore in Q3FY25.
Bajaj Life Insurance also posted strong momentum. New business premium rose 27% to ₹3,501 crore. Retail weighted received premium (RWRP) increased 20% to ₹1,857 crore, while group protection new business climbed 29% to ₹785 crore.
Renewal premium for the quarter grew 21% to ₹4,353 crore. Net value of new business (VNB) jumped 59% to ₹405 crore, supported by product mix changes and cost efficiency.
Bajaj Finserv shares traded around 0.8% higher at ₹2,029, outperforming the broader market during the session.
