Bajaj Housing Finance Limited (BHFL) closed FY25 on a high note, reporting stellar growth in revenue, profit, and assets under management (AUM).

Strategic Commentary

The Q4 surge in profitability was driven by efficient cost management—Operating expenses as a % of Net Total Income dropped to 21.7% (vs 27% in Q4 FY24). This was further aided by lower credit costs and a sharp rise in non-interest income components.

Outlook

Final Thoughts

Bajaj Housing Finance’s Q4 FY25 results confirm its trajectory as a high-growth, high-quality NBFC. As housing demand continues to grow and interest rate stability sets in, BHFL is well-geared to lead the next leg of growth in India’s housing credit ecosystem.

Infosys Limited, one of India's leading IT services firms, closed FY25 on a strong footing despite macroeconomic uncertainties, thanks to its diversified service portfolio, large deal wins, and accelerated AI adoption.
