MUMBAI – Strong growth in assets under management, leading to a jump in net interest income, helped Bajaj Finance Ltd. to report a firm rise in net profit for the quarter ended March. However, a steep net gain on fair value changes limited the rise in the company's bottom line.

 

The non-bank financier reported a consolidated net profit of INR 54.65 billion for the March quarter, up 22% on year and almost 38% on quarter.

Bajaj Finance's loan losses and provisions for the March quarter were at INR 20.08 billion against INR 21.67 billion a year ago. Its gross and net non-performing assets ratios as of Mar. 31 were 1.01% and 0.41%, respectively, against 0.96% and 0.44% a year ago.

In a separate exchange filing, the company said Rajiv Bajaj has expressed his willingness to step down from the board of directors of Bajaj Finance.
