Arman Financial Services Ltd Faces Challenges, Takes Strategic Actions

Arman Financial Services Ltd reported its unsecured MFI portfolio principal outstanding at 1.87 billion rupees. The company's microfinance subsidiary, Namra Finance, has approved the sale of non-performing assets (NPA) and written-off loans. This decision comes amid challenges in the microfinance sector, with the company's consolidated Assets Under Management (AUM) decreasing by 6.5% year-on-year to 2,279.8 crore in Q3 FY25. Despite these headwinds, Arman's standalone business, focusing on MSME, two-wheeler, and Micro-LAP segments, showed resilience with a 30.9% year-on-year AUM growth to 512 crores. The company maintains a strong capital adequacy ratio and is implementing strategic initiatives to ensure long-term sustainability.
