1. Opening Hook
Gold prices are soaring, NBFCs are partying, and Fedfina finally invited Lakshmi Ji to Powai. After months of analysts asking “when gold?”, Q3 decided to answer loudly—with ₹7,853 crore disbursals and 54 new branches.
But before you pop the champagne, remember: one part of the house is still under renovation. Small-ticket LAP continues to cough politely in the corner while management insists, “Don’t worry, it’s planned.”
This concall wasn’t about dramatic surprises. It was about execution, discipline, and quietly fixing past sins. Gold sparkled, costs behaved (mostly), and credit costs stayed obedient—just under 1%, like a well-trained pet.
Read on, because behind the gold glitter lies a very deliberate clean-up story—and FY27 is where the real flex might begin.

- Credit Cost 0.9% – Management promised. Management delivered.
- GNPA 2.1% – Old ghosts still wandering, but no new ones invited.
- Net Profit ₹87.9 Cr – Not explosive, but steady enough to sleep peacefully.
