On the liability side, proactive management helped us lower our cost of borrowings by 30 bps QoQ, supporting an ex–co-lending spread of 5.3%, up 20 bps. Profitability was robust: PAT came in at Rs 132 crore, up 43.0% YoY and 10.9% QoQ, delivering a RoA of 3.8%.

Account Aggregator penetration reached 83% of new approvals; digital fulfillment crossed 80% through e-agreements and e-NACH; and 96% of our customers are now app-registered, with 87% of service requests raised in-app.

We are equally committed to responsible growth. Under our Green Homes initiative, we certified 50 additional homes in the quarter, taking the cumulative count to 240 as of September. I am pleased to share that Morningstar Sustainalytics reaffirmed our ‘Low ESG Risk’ category with an improved score of 13.6 versus 16.2 last year.
