"We started with quality. We have got to that place, but it will always be the quality of assets ahead of everything else (for business growth)," he said.
Talking about restructuring undertaken by the NBFC, Shah said there has been a lot of effort over the last three years. "We are in the final stages of doing that. As that happens, that's going to strengthen our business even further.

"What has also impacted the business is the fact that you had
volatility
in gross NPAs, and as we look back over time, some of it is driven by counting on changes, and potentially changes in how gross NPAs are calculated as well."
The team has done a phenomenal job in changing the
risk profile
of the business and greatly leveraged technology and data analytics in a big way, he said.
Therefore, Mahindra Finance is still a leading player in rural and semi-urban areas despite all the competition that's coming there from everyone, including banks, he said.
Most of the big corporates are already into the NBFC space and the newest one is
Jio Financial Services Ltd
promoted by Reliance Group.
For the June quarter, Mahindra Finance reported a 6 per cent increase in consolidated
net profit
to Rs 529 crore as compared to Rs 513 crore a year ago.
Its total income climbed 18 per cent to Rs 4,438 crore during the quarter, and the core net interest income increased a similar quantum to Rs 2,285 crore.
The net interest margin widened to 6.7 per cent from 6.6 per cent a year ago.
Established on September 4, 1998, Mahindra Finance holds a leadership position in Mahindra Tractors and Auto Financing in India, as well as among non-banking financiers for Maruti and Hyundai cars.
With a
loan
book size of Rs 82,770 crore and over 9 million cumulative customer contracts as of FY23, its operations are spread across 34 states/union territories through 1,386 branches/offices, as per the company's website.

NMRDA for 15-meter wide approach roads for develoment of properties in region
Nashik: Nashik Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (NMRDA) has now decided to permit approach roads with a width of not less than 15 metres for development of properties in the region. "Developers construct properties and move on, and then the people who live in those properties face problems due to narrow roads. In order to ensure proper development, we have decided on 15-metre norm," said NMRDA commissioner Manikrao Gursal. As per the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations 2020, properties are developed only on the basis of available width of road that helps dwellers access the nearest public way. The region is likely to see huge development during the forthcoming Simhastha Kumbhmela as well as overall development of places just outside Nashik Municipal Corporation limits. "We will have development of roads and properties considering the forthcoming Simhastha, besides handling movement of traffic from Ozar and even Shirdi international airports to and from Nashik city, all of which will be happen in NMRDA region spread across 275 villages in six talukas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo Hence, NMRDA has previously announced the decision of widening the roads passing through the region. The current decision about the access roads is another step further," he said. Gursal said huge plots have been developed in neighbouring talukas of Nashik but their approach roads are very small, leading to problems for the residents as well as visitors. "Given the climatic conditions in Igatpuri, Nashik, and surrounding areas, there is demand for second homes, and so a large number of people — even the aged — visit these places. Traffic jams have now become regular issues on roads leading to chaotic conditions," said the officer. NMRDA has already announced widening of village roads from 15 to 18 metres, the other district roads (ODR) from 18 to 24 metres, and major district roads (MDR) from 24 to 30 metres.

Three months after repair, two lanes of Butibori flyover remain closed
1 2 Nagpur: Nearly three months after the Butibori flyover was reopened to traffic following a major repair work, two of its six lanes continue to remain closed. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has barricaded the outermost lanes on either side of the structure, citing safety precautions. However, the presence of an uneven joint where the repair work was carried out — combined with the prolonged closure of two lanes — has added to the concerns of motorists who use the flyover daily. The flyover, built at a cost of Rs70 crore, was inaugurated in June 2021 to ease congestion at one of the most accident-prone junctions near Nagpur, which had recorded over 100 fatalities in the past. On December 24 last year, an overloaded over-dimensional vehicle (ODC) passed dangerously close to the edge of the flyover on the Nagpur-Wardha side, causing a part of one of its span to cave in. Following the incident, NHAI closed the flyover for nearly five months, leading to heavy traffic jam on the road beneath. Experts from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) were roped in for a detailed structural review after which the repair work was carried out. The flyover was reopened in May this year, though with restrictions — two outermost lanes on either side remained barricaded. A senior NHAI official said the flyover is safe despite the visible unevenness. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "The repair work was carried out after a report from experts at VNIT. It is completely safe, but the joint cannot return to its original place," the official said. On closure of the two outermost lanes, the officer said it is a precautionary move. "We have approached VNIT, which will advise us on measures to stop heavy and over-dimensional vehicles from running on the edge of the flyover. Once VNIT suggests measures, we will start the work. Later, light vehicles like cars and bikes will be allowed on the outermost lanes, but heavy vehicles will be strictly prohibited. We are expecting suggestions from VNIT next week," he said. With only four of the six lanes in use, traffic congestion is common, especially during peak hours when trucks and passenger vehicles crowd the busy stretch. For many locals, the uneven joint at the repaired patch, along with the barricaded lanes, has raised doubts about the long-term durability of the flyover.

Nexus with contractors? GDA set to transfer 76 supervisors
Ghaziabad: Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) is set to transfer 76 supervisors following persistent complaints of collusion with contractors in facilitating illegal construction. Residents also allege that supervisors, working in tandem with private builders, demand hefty sums to overlook unauthorised floors. GDA has around 200 supervisors in the seven zones under it, but its manual does not specify a maximum tenure for postings before an employee can be shifted. Many of the supervisors on the list have been posted in the same zone for more than five years. Officials admitted that supervisors posted in the same zones for years had formed "unholy alliances" with local realtors, and said the reshuffle aimed to curb the spread of illegal colonies, which have risen from 321 in 2021 to 351, occupying around 3,000 acres.

Supervisors are also tasked with checking the quality of construction materials and ensuring that all work is carried out in line with the approved plan. However, their nexus with contractors runs deep. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A Teaspoon Before Bed Burns Body Fat - Fit Into Your Clothes Again! Health & Family Click Here Undo A Vaishali resident told TOI, a contractor allegedly sought Rs 40,000 on behalf of a GDA official to allow his family to construct an additional floor in their two-storey flat. "We hired a private contractor, prepared a cost estimate, and even had construction material delivered," he said. But that evening, a GDA supervisor reached their house and warned the family that the work violated regulations. Unsure how to proceed, the family considered abandoning the plan. "But the contractor assured me it could be 'managed' for Rs 40,000. Construction went ahead without further interference. Only later did I realise the nexus between contractors and supervisors," he added. According to a GDA official, despite checks and balances, illegal construction has been unabated in the city. "We deduced that many of the supervisors are working in the same zone for years and have developed a nexus with contractors, allowing illegal construction. This nexus needs to be broken, for which GDA has prepared a list of 76 supervisors who will be transferred to other zones."
