Lakshmipathy Deenadayalan, chairman & managing director, said, ?As we had updated in the last quarter, we have seen a stable performance from Five Star during the current quarter, across various metrics. The downtrend that we witnessed in Q1FY26 has been arrested in the current quarter, and from here onwards, we believe that we would see some green shoots emerging in Q3 and a much stronger performance in Q4.

We have taken several strategies and actions towards this across sourcing, credit underwriting, collections and risk oversight. These are marked out as focus areas for us in the quarters to come, and we believe these will pave the way for building a bigger and stronger portfolio in the coming quarters.

Our investment in physical infrastructure and people continues as can be seen from the addition of 33 branches and 769 Business & Collections Officers during Q2FY2026. During this quarter, we disbursed Rs 1,196 crore of loans as against Rs 1,290 crore in Q1FY2026, and the drop in disbursements can be attributed to the additional controls that have been implemented for the first time during this quarter towards onboarding the right customers. With our system getting attuned to these changes, we should start seeing increase in disbursements and increased AUM growth in the quarters to come.?
