What the record says.
Bajaj Finserv reported a strong Q1 FY26 with consolidated PAT up 30% YoY to INR 2,789 crore, driven by robust performance across insurance and lending subsidiaries. Bajaj Allianz Life saw VNB growth of 39% and margin expansion of 420bps to 11.1%, reflecting successful execution of BALIC 2.0 strategy. Bajaj Allianz General maintained a combined ratio of 103.6% (102.5% ex-one-by-N impact) with core business growing 15% ex-crop and government health. Bajaj Finance added 4.69 million new customers and expects to disburse over 50 million loans in FY26. Bajaj Housing Finance grew AUM 24% YoY. The Allianz exit process is progressing with regulatory approvals received. Key risks include elevated competition in general insurance and potential slowdown in group protection due to MFI sector headwinds.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Bajaj Finance guided for over 50 million new loan disbursements in full-year FY26, up from 13.49 million in Q1.
- Bajaj Finance expects to add 14-16 million new customers in FY26, with 4.69 million added in Q1.
- Management indicated that H2 growth will be significantly comfortable due to favorable base effects and strategy execution.
- Management reiterated its endeavor to keep combined ratio close to 100%, despite current elevated levels.
Risks flagged
- Competition remains high across motor, health, and crop segments, potentially pressuring pricing and combined ratios.
- BALIC's group protection business declined 7% YoY, largely due to slowdown in MFI lending, which is outside management's control.
- BALIC observed lower persistency in the 13-month bucket due to base effect of higher ticket size policies written in Q4 FY24.
- Management noted that crop tender pricing is below comfortable levels, which could lead to lower win rates or adverse loss ratios.
Key quotes
- The endeavor for our company is to always maintain a combined ratio close to 100, is what I've always mentioned over time.
- The H2 growth, yes, will be significantly comfortable, is what I can say.
- We are not somebody who, in desperation, would do business just for the sake of pushing up a top line.
