The micro-enterprise-focused lender posted a Profit After Tax of \u20b9194 crore for FY26, up 13% year-on-year, reflecting stable earnings momentum and improved operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gross total income rose 20% to \u20b91,797 crore, driven largely by interest income of \u20b91,567 crore, while fee and other income contributed \u20b9230 crore. The company maintained a healthy Net Interest Margin of 14.64% on average total assets, highlighting its ability to sustain lending spreads despite a competitive credit environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operational metrics showed gradual improvement. The cost-to-income ratio declined to 50.2% from 51.4% a year earlier, supported by controlled expenses of \u20b9679 crore. Return ratios remained stable, with Return on Assets at 2.8% and Return on Equity at 9.3%, adjusted for fresh capital raised during the IPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s asset base expanded significantly, with Assets Under Management growing 27.3% year-on-year to \u20b97,044 crore. Annual disbursements rose 20% to \u20b95,169 crore, while its active customer base reached approximately 6.4 lakh. Notably, 71% of AUM growth came from existing branches, indicating strong organic expansion rather than aggressive branch additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asset quality improved during the quarter, a key highlight of the Q4 results 2026. Gross NPA declined to 4.77%, while Net NPA stood at 1.8%. Collection efficiency reached 99.5% in March, signaling tighter credit monitoring and recovery processes. The company maintained a Provision Coverage Ratio of 63.66% on stressed assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funding remains diversified across banks, financial institutions, and development lenders. The cost of borrowing eased to 10.13% in Q4FY26, while capital adequacy remained strong at 34.9%, providing room for future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aye Finance\u2019s \u201cphygital\u201d strategy combining a 571-branch network with AI and machine learning underwriting continues to drive scale. Around 32% of underwriting is now automated, and all loan originations are paperless, improving efficiency and turnaround time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Q4 results 2026 underline the company\u2019s focus on disciplined growth, improved asset quality, and technology-led lending. As credit demand from micro-enterprises remains strong, Aye Finance appears well-positioned to expand further while maintaining risk controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bs-widget-title one\"><h2
