Sudipta Roy, Managing Director & CEO, LTF, said, ?FY26 has been a good year for us, despite significant headwinds in our microfinance business in the initial months of the year and the end of the year closing with geopolitical tensions. Through the course of the year, we remained steadfast in our approach?tightening credit and risk administration frameworks, strengthening collections infrastructure, accelerating our AI-led technology transformation and continuously focusing on growth across all our business lines.

On the microfinance business, our focus was on navigating the cycle with prudence and our efforts have yielded results, with business parameters across both disbursements and collection efficiencies now reverting to near pre-crisis levels, giving us confidence that FY27 will be a stable and productive year for this segment.

FY26 also marks the successful completion of our Lakshya 26 strategic plan, achieving most of our stated objectives even amid volatility in the credit environment. This reflects the resilience of our diversified franchise, disciplined execution, and the strength of the digital and analytics capabilities that we built during the plan period. As we embark on our next five-year strategic roadmap, Lakshya 31, we are setting ourselves ambitious and measurable targets to drive consistent growth with improved profitability.

While global geopolitical uncertainties persist, we remain confident that the solid foundation established during the Lakshya 26 period will enable us to deliver steady outcomes and create long-term value for all stakeholders and truly transform L&T Finance into a risk-first, technology-first, multi-product retail financier of choice.
