Chennai, Non-banking finance company Sundaram Finance has reported a net profit of Rs 386 crore for the quarter ending March 31, 2024, a top official said on Friday. The city-headquartered company for the financial year ending March 31, 2024, reported the highest ever disbursements of Rs 26,163 crore, Managing Director Rajiv C Lochan said here.

Commenting on the financial performance, Lochan said, “Q4 witnessed sluggish demand in the automotive sector although pre-election impetus boosted infrastructure and construction activity. We improved market share and ensured best-in-class asset quality in a tough operating environment.

“Looking ahead, while medium-term prospects for the Indian economy look promising, we expect FY25 to be a tale of two halves — H1 impacted by the general elections currently underway and normal monsoons forecast and H2 witnessing a revival in demand and private investment,” he told reporters.

According to company officials, the assets under management in the lending and general insurance business stood at Rs 66,472 crore as of March 31, 2024, as compared to Rs 53,406 crore recorded as of March 31, 2023.

Sundaram Finance Executive Vice Chairman Harsha Viji said, “Team Sundaram has delivered a strong FY24 despite lower-than-expected economic activity in the quarter. Our group companies in asset management, general insurance and home finance have continued their trajectory from FY23 and recorded strong results.”
