The second largest micro lender expects the third interest rate reduction earlier last month to attract more customers and also improve collections.
The publicly listed company, with a loan book of ₹12,500 crore as of September 2024, lowered its lending rates for the third time this fiscal in December, by 25 bps to 23.05% for group loans and by 125 bps to 22.70% for third-party product loans.
This has crimped its margins to 13.24%. Earlier in January 2024, it had slashed the interest rate by 55 bps and then in July by 35 bps.
