40.75% NPA in NHC/project segment (INR ~6,100 crore Stage 3 EAD on INR 15,000 crore wholesale book) creates uncertainty around credit costs and capital deployment efficiency. While 40-50 accounts are in resolution, timelines remain unpredictable.
Banks offering prime borrowers home loans at 8.3-8.35% vs LIC HFL's cost of funds at 7.70%, creating margin pressure. Management acknowledged difficulty competing with banks' lower cost of capital and is pivoting toward affordable housing segment.
Analyst Kunal Shah highlighted sequential decline in Stage 1 and Stage 2 coverage ratios, with Stage 1 provisioning dropping to ~20bps from 25bps.
