GNPA levels in housing finance (~5%), MSME/vehicle finance (~6-14%) are significantly elevated for a gold-focused lender. The analyst explicitly questioned accountability and whether balance sheet surprises remain. Management acknowledged the seriousness by making non-gold consolidation its second strategic priority.
RBI has not yet approved new branch openings for gold loan business. Management acknowledged this is likely linked to the pending Bane Capital co-promoter transaction, creating a strategic constraint on growth just as gold loan demand is strong.
Weighted average LTV remains at 57-60%. While management is confident of managing a temporary gold price correction via online gold loan app, any sustained decline could trigger customer repayments and reduce ticket sizes, impacting AUM growth.
An analyst raised a pointed question on why Manappuram's cost structure is materially higher than larger peers at similar branch productivity levels (~10-11 crores). Management acknowledged the concern but deflected detailed response, promising clarity with the FY27 strategic plan.
