Muthoot Finance Reports Growth Amid Rising Gold Loan Delinquencies in Q2 FY27
Muthoot Finance reported a 43% year-on-year growth in gold loan assets under management in Q2 FY27, supported by higher gold prices and increased client additions. However, the company saw a significant rise in non-performing assets, with stage-II and stage-III loans increasing sharply due to the RBI's new gold loan regulations mandating monthly interest repayments. Management attributes this spike to customers adjusting to the new repayment structure rather than underlying borrower stress. Despite asset quality challenges, consolidated profit rose 36% year-on-year to ₹3,278 crore.
