Sanjay Agarwal, Founder, MD & CEO, AU Small Finance Bank said, We are coming out of a tough macroeconomic environment marked by persistent inflation, tight liquidity, a challenging credit environment, and lower-than-expected GDP growth. As we enter FY26, the economic outlook remains uncertain, driven largely by global factors such as tariff war and geopolitical developments. However, India is comparatively well-positioned, with both the Central Government and the RBI implementing supportive measures including tax rationalization, interest rate cuts, and the injection of durable liquidity into the banking system.

Against this backdrop, we have delivered a strong performance with higher than sectoral growth in both deposits and advances. We made meaningful progress on productivity and efficiency, which enabled us to deliver stronger profitabilityeven amid a credit cycle in unsecured businesses of microfinance and credit cards. As we celebrate 30 years of AU and 8 years of our banking journey, we remain focused on building an institution that can truly scale with sustainability.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to all stakeholders for their continued trust and support. We remain committed to driving financial inclusion, empowering individuals and businesses, and contributing towards strengthening Indias economic resilience and advancing sustainable growth.
