    Retail Disbursements Drive Growth

    Retail disbursements rose 36% YoY to ₹23,852 crore, supported by strong growth across lending segments. 

    Personal Loans emerged as the leader, as their disbursement jumped 126% YoY to ₹4,380 crore. Disbursement of Two-Wheeler Finance was up 41% YoY to ₹3,006 crore, whereas Rural Business Finance rose 24% YoY.

    The Gold Loan portfolio increased by 182% YoY to ₹3,829 crore, helped by the addition of gold finance operations acquired in June 2025 and the branch network, which reached 343 branches.

    The Weighted Average Cost of Borrowing (WACB) was anchored at 7.20% in Q1 FY27, down 48 bps YoY from 7.68% in Q1 FY26, despite a challenging external borrowing environment. Provision Coverage Ratio improved to 98.22%, up 2 bps YoY.

    Technology and AI Deployment

    LTF has been deploying in-house AI tools across its lending operations as part of its transition towards what it describes as an AI-native lending model. PLANET, the customer application of the organisation, reached 2.5 crore installations by June 30, 2026, having more than 20 lakh rural customers using the app. This app has been used for collecting payments amounting to ₹11,500 crore and arranging loans worth ₹34,462 crore.

    AI co-pilots are being used across underwriting, fraud detection, servicing, and collections. The SME underwriting co-pilot Project Helios has processed over 40,000 files, while the Mortgage Legal Process Automation Co-Pilot has processed over 4,000 files in 11 vernacular languages. The Gold Loan Origination System, Project Canyon, uses an agentic AI interface and combines 16 integrated systems and over 60 APIs.
