On the business front, the company said it is integrating artificial intelligence across all its operations. The management reiterated its credit cost estimate and projected it to remain in the range of 1.85% to 1.95%. The company also expects the repo rate cut to lead to an improvement in net interest margin (NIM) by about 10 basis points from current levels during this year, giving a significant boost to profitability.

To avoid potential asset-quality pressure, Bajaj Finance has started reducing growth in its small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) financing portfolio. The company said the move is aimed at managing risk while it continues to implement efficiency measures across all its offerings.

The stock hit its 52-week high of ₹978.80 on June 9, 2025 and its 52-week low of ₹645.10 on June 4, 2024.
