reduction in our microfinance portfolio, which continues to face stress. The microfinance book declined to ₹9,705 crore in Q4FY25 from ₹13,764 crore in Q4FY24. The new guardrails introduced by the microfinance self-regulatory organisation (SRO) significantly reduced the pool of eligible borrowers. In several cases, we couldn’t extend fresh loans even to existing customers. As a result, disbursements in the microfinance segment dropped to ₹1,044 crore in Q4FY25 from ₹3,076 crore a year ago.
