Govind Singh, MD & CEO of Utkarsh Small Finance Bank, said Q4 FY26 marked a 'decisive quarter of strategic recalibration' for the bank, driven by a focus on portfolio quality, secured asset expansion and operational strengthening amid continued stress in the microfinance segment. He said the bank prioritised 'stability over speed' during the quarter by tightening underwriting standards, strengthening collections and rebalancing the portfolio mix toward lower-risk segments. According to Singh, disbursements improved across both Joint Liability Group (JLG) and non-JLG portfolios, while JLG X-bucket collection efficiency rose to 99.7% in March 2026, the highest level recorded during FY26.

Singh said the bank continued to reduce unsecured exposure and increase focus on secured, higher-yield and lower-risk businesses. Non-JLG portfolios, including micro banking and business loans (MBBL), MSME, housing and BBG segments, witnessed strong momentum, with the MBBL portfolio growing 122% year-on-year. On the liabilities side, the bank strengthened its deposit franchise, with CASA plus retail term deposit ratio improving to 83% from 71% a year earlier. Cost of funds also declined by over 45 basis points year-on-year in Q4 FY26 as the impact of repricing flowed through. He added that the bank had registered with CGFMU for credit-guarantee coverage on eligible JLG and MBBL disbursements to further reduce incremental risk exposure. Singh said investments under the 'Utkarsh 2.0' transformation programme enabled automation, digital underwriting and enhanced monitoring capabilities, improving productivity and risk controls. The bank's capital position remained comfortable following the successful Rs 950 crore rights issue completed in November 2025, which strengthened Tier-I capital, he added. Going forward, the bank will remain focused on improving collections, calibrated disbursement growth in higher-quality segments, expanding secured lending and accelerating liability mobilisation to support prudent long-term growth, Singh said.
