Bajaj Housing Finance reported a 14% rise in net profit to Rs 669 crore for Q4 FY26, driven by 23% growth in assets under management (AUM) to Rs 1.4 lakh crore and a 15% increase in net interest income, despite margin compression and higher provisions. Piramal Finance saw a nearly 5-fold jump in Q4 net profit to Rs 502 crore, boosted by exceptional gains from stake sales, alongside steady core operations. Both companies showed strong revenue growth and stable asset quality amid competitive pressures in the housing finance sector.
