Loan Category | Value (Rs. crore) |
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) | 362.43 |
Technically Written-Off Loans | 372.75 |
Total Pool Value | 735.18 |
Provision Coverage (%) | 90.15 |
The bank’s board has authorised the Asset Sale Committee of Executives to oversee and complete the transaction. However, the identity of the asset reconstruction company and the deal structure remain undisclosed at this stage.
This strategic move aligns with ESAF Small Finance Bank’s ongoing efforts to streamline operations, reduce its non-performing asset ratio, and strengthen financial stability. The sale is expected to positively impact the asset quality ratios in the upcoming quarters.
In parallel with the asset sale, ESAF Small Finance Bank has entered into a new partnership with Maruti Suzuki India to offer customised retail financing solutions. This collaboration will focus on first-time car buyers and commercial vehicle customers, particularly in tier-II and tier-III towns.
The joint network will offer easy credit access through tailored EMI plans, increasing outreach across underbanked locations. The move may also improve visibility and customer engagement, indirectly influencing the Small Finance Bank share price.
Following the announcements, ESAF Small Finance Bank share price closed at Rs.31 on the BSE, registering a marginal gain of 0.23%. Investors appear cautiously optimistic as the bank undertakes measures to clean its loan book and expand its customer base. The completion of this loan sale and traction from the Maruti Suzuki partnership could further support the ESAF Small Finance Bank share price in the short term.
