MSME utilization dropped from 73% to 70% in Q1 FY27, which management attributed to conscious pricing decisions and customer behavior. This suggests potential pipeline softness even as management targets above-system growth.
Fee income at Rs 243 crores appears lower than the 259-300 crores range achieved in Q2-Q4 FY26, with treasury gains of Rs 52 crores partially offsetting. Management attributed this to disbursement timing but did not provide specific recovery timeline.
Interest on borrowings increased from Rs 72.5 crores in Q4 FY26 to Rs 94 crores in Q1 FY27. Management expects this elevated level to persist for 2 more quarters, pressuring margins beyond the guided 5 bps NIM compression.
The non-MSME 'business enterprises' segment saw significant quarter-on-quarter fluctuation (Rs 22,500 crores to Rs 15,000 crores to Rs 19,000 crores) due to selective exit from low-yielding exposures. This suggests potential volatility in the higher-ticket book.
