What the record says.
Bajaj Finserv reported a strong Q3 FY24 with consolidated total income up 34% to INR 29,038 crore and PAT up 21% to INR 2,158 crore. Growth was driven by robust performance across subsidiaries: Bajaj Finance (AUM +35%, PAT +22%), Bajaj Allianz General Insurance (GDPI +18.7% despite Nat Cat impact), and Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance (IRNB +24%, NBV +19%). The company announced the acquisition of Vidal Healthcare for INR 325 crore to strengthen its healthcare payment ecosystem. Management expressed confidence in sustained growth, citing favorable macro conditions and strategic investments. Key risks include potential regulatory changes on life insurance surrender norms and competitive pressure in motor insurance.
