Capri Global Capital Limited announced its audited financial results for the fiscal year and quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a consolidated profit after tax (PAT) of ₹949.15 crore for the full fiscal year, a rise from the previous year. The fourth quarter of FY26 saw a PAT of ₹282.82 crore.
The Board of Directors has proposed a final dividend of ₹0.20 per equity share. Crucially, the company is seeking shareholder approval to increase its aggregate borrowing limits significantly, from ₹25,000 crore to ₹35,000 crore. Auditors issued an unmodified opinion on the financial results.
Driving Future Growth
The proposed increase in borrowing limits signals Capri Global's intent to fund future expansion. An enhanced borrowing capacity offers greater financial flexibility for growing its loan book, launching new initiatives, and managing operational needs. This move could empower Capri Global to accelerate its scale across its various business segments, including MSME lending, affordable housing, gold loans, and car loans.
Recent Developments
Capri Global has been on a growth path, diversifying its offerings and expanding its market reach. In June 2025, the company raised ₹2,000 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) to support its expansion and digital transformation. For FY26, plans included raising approximately ₹65 billion ($733 million) via bonds and loans to boost its loan book and branch network. As of March 31, 2025, its consolidated Assets Under Management (AUM) reached ₹22,860.20 crore.
Key Impacts
Shareholder approval for the borrowing limit hike would unlock substantial funds for business expansion. This strategic move supports plans to scale operations across existing and new verticals. Additionally, the recommended final dividend offers a direct return to shareholders, pending formal approval.
Potential Risks
A primary risk is the potential failure to secure shareholder approval for the significant increase in borrowing limits, which could limit future funding options for the company.
Competitive Landscape
Capri Global operates within a competitive Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) sector, facing peers like Bajaj Finance Ltd, Shriram Finance Ltd, and IIFL Finance Ltd. The company has shown strong loan book growth, with its AUM increasing at a three-year CAGR of 51% to ₹22,860 crore as of March 31, 2025. Its net profit CAGR over seven quarters, at 100.34%, has notably surpassed that of IIFL Finance Ltd (25.23%).
Key Financial Metrics
Consolidated total income for FY26 was ₹47,420.09 million. For the fourth quarter of FY26, consolidated total income stood at ₹13,876.74 million. Standalone profit after tax for FY26 was ₹824.96 crore.
What to Watch Next
Investors will be watching for the outcome of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) concerning shareholder approval for the increased borrowing limits. The company's strategy and timeline for using this enhanced capacity, along with subsequent financial results and AUM growth, will also be key indicators.
