Mumbai: Shriram Transport Finance Company (STFC) today said its net profit increased marginally by 5 per cent to Rs 321.11 crore in the first quarter ended June 30 as the commercial vehicle financier's bottomline was dented by an increase in non-performing loans.
The company had reported a profit after tax of Rs 306 crore in the same period last year.
"Although growth in profits was on account of higher loan disbursements but our non-performing loans increased, which had put pressure on profitability," STFC Managing Director and CEO Umesh Revankar said.
Total disbursement increased to Rs 9,200 crore in the April-June period from Rs 7,500 crore in the year-ago quarter.
Gross NPL level increased 4.07 per cent from 3.74 per cent. The net interest income stood at Rs 1,150.67 crore as against Rs 967.59 crore in the year-ago period.
Total assets as on June 30 was at Rs 60,531.72 crore as against Rs 54,379.62 crore in the year-ago period.
Revankar said the company has enough liquidity and may not raise funds on immediate basis.
