The lender's assets under management (AUM) contracted 37% year-on-year to ₹7,688 crore at the end of June, from ₹12,193 crore a year ago, after it slowed loan disbursals to the overleveraged and defaulting bottom-of-the-pyramid borrowers. Garyali said that 44% of the AUM is of new loans with 6 months of average life and the new loans are showing a better repayment record than the old portfolio. Overall, it has seen a collection efficiency of 98.6%, up from 96.6% nine months back. The stress in sector led to a consecutive five quarter net loss for Fusion. It suffered a ₹92 crore loss in Q1 of the current fiscal after ₹1,225 crore annual loss in FY25. Garyali expected credit costs to come down further in the second quarter helping it to get closer to making profit. Live Events
