Revenue guidance

Category 2
  • Arman Financial Services targets growing its AUM to around INR 5,000 crores by FY 2026 or FY 2027, subject to credit cost conditions being stable.
  • The company aims for a branch expansion of 60 to 75 new branches in FY 2025 across Bihar, Jharkhand, Telangana, and Karnataka.
  • Annual growth in AUM is expected to be in the range of 25% to 40%, with a minimum growth of about 25% likely due to collection challenges.
  • The company foresees continued strong demand in microfinance and MSME segments, supported by a favorable economic environment post-COVID and RBI’s revised regulatory framework.
  • Diversification into micro LAP (loan against property) is at a pilot stage with early disbursements and is expected to plant seeds for future growth, though it won’t be a significant part of the book immediately.
  • Overall, Arman is confident of steady growth supported by strong capitalization and disciplined credit management.
