India's Bajaj Finserv hikes customer target to 250 million
Lifts customer target to 250 million in 4 years from 200 million
Chair warns politics must not hinder economic growth
Loan losses normalising to pre-COVID levels, chair says
Adds details on insurance deals in paragraphs 15-17
By Charlie Conchie
LONDON, July 1 (Reuters) - Indian financial services group Bajaj Finserv has increased its customer target to 250 million in the next four years, chairman and managing director Sanjiv Bajaj told Reuters, betting on strong growth in the South Asian economy.
Bajaj Finserv, one of India’s biggest non-bank financial firms, in December set a target of 200 million customers by 2029, but has been winning business more quickly than expected.
"(It's) very promising. We've added 10 million new customers in the last two years," Bajaj told Reuters.
The largest company in the century-old Bajaj Group, Bajaj Finserv has about 92 million active customers in India across divisions including lending, asset management and insurance. The Bajaj Group holds a 55% stake in the financial services company, which is listed on the National Stock Exchange of India.
Bajaj told Reuters in an interview in London that Bajaj Finserv had reached only about 30% to 40% of its potential market and was looking to accelerate growth by targeting India's burgeoning middle class and first-time borrowers.
Bajaj Finserv's largest subsidiary, Bajaj Finance, typically provides loans to small businesses and consumers to fund purchases of household and electrical goods, as well as mortgages via its property finance arm, Bajaj Housing Finance.
The biggest risk to the company's growth plans is that the Indian economy falls short of an 8% growth rate, Bajaj said, which economists believe it needs to meet its goal of becoming a developed nation.
While India's central government has set out plans to lift economic growth, there was a danger this did not translate to a state level, he added.
"The states rightly still have a lot of power, and I hope politics doesn't get the better of economics over there, because then it will deny us that additional opportunity to grow," Bajaj said.
Bajaj Finserv sees customers' ability to repay loans improving from here, he added.
While profit at the firm rose to $1.1 billion in the 12 months to the end of March, up from $900 million the previous year, Bajaj Finserv has set aside cash to cover losses in its loan book since 2020.
The net loss ratio at the company's flagship lending arm Bajaj Finance has reached about 0.7% in the last four or five years, Bajaj said, indicating a "little higher stress".
"Post-COVID, we initially saw a period of stress where we saw revenge buying happening all over the world," he said, referring to the trend of customers spending on expensive goods after the pandemic.
"So actually credit performance improved, and then it (has) started normalising to say 2019 pre-COVID levels. We think by and large it's normalised there; another couple of quarters and it should be fine."
Bajaj Finserv agreed a deal to buy out Allianz from two general and life insurance joint ventures in March for around 2.6 billion euros.
The deal, which is awaiting approval from regulators, will be funded by Bajaj Finserv internally, Bajaj said.
"Neither of the insurance companies has needed capital for the last 8-10 years, so the internal reserves have supported their growth, and that's why we've never felt the need to go to an outside investor for capital," he said.
Bajaj said the company had begun using artificial intelligence chatbots to grant loans and speak with customers and the technology would be central to its growth plans.
Asked if the company could consider international expansion in the future, Bajaj said: "We don't have plans yet, but it could be".

BREAKINGVIEWS-India's embrace of hot money will pay off slowly
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are her own.
By Shritama Bose
MUMBAI, May 19 (Reuters Breakingviews) - India is shaking off a decade-old suspicion of flighty foreigners. Officials are easing rules to let them own more of its $600 billion of company debt and smoothing access to treasuries. Global economic conditions do not favour an immediate deluge of flows, but the country's road to a deeper bond market is getting shorter.
The central bank this month removed a 30% cap on outsiders owning bonds with residual maturity of less than a year. Days later, markets watchdog Securities and Exchange Board of India proposed a simpler due diligence regime for treasury-focused investors that could ease compliance for funds with complex structures or multiple schemes.
The reforms signal India is warming up to what it once considered hot money: itinerant pools of capital that bet on interest rate and currency differentials between markets. That's a big turnaround from a decade ago. Back then, authorities restricted their access to short-term securities following massive outflows during the so-called taper tantrum, sparked by the U.S. central bank revealing it would start scaling back its asset purchase program.
At present, rising U.S. yields dim the allure of Indian debt: foreign portfolio investors have used only 14% of the quota of company bonds available to them, down from 38% in May 2020. Officials are therefore willing to adjust conditions to be more favourable for high-yield seekers like Ares Management ARES.N and Oaktree, which are pushing into the market and prefer to hold debt to redemption rather than constantly monitor residual maturities for illiquid paper.
The additional liquidity it attracts could create a new layer of issuers between top-rated companies which dominate the market and high-risk borrowers, said Jayesh Mehta, vice chairman and CEO at non-bank lender DSP Finance. Bond issuance by Indian companies hit a record high in 2024. Top issuers included Bajaj Finance BJFN.NS and the parent firm of Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS.
Cash will not gush in immediately, as the yield differential between U.S. treasuries and the Indian equivalent is just 170 basis points, the narrowest in two decades. Over time, the shift will help India cut its companies' dependence on bank lending. There's a long way to go: the country's corporate bond market is just 16% of GDP, less than half the ratio for China. Still, it's better to open up when inflows will be a trickle rather than a flood.

INDIA STOCKS-Indian shares open lower amid Pakistan tensions; Bajaj Finance sinks
Updates for markets open
April 30 (Reuters) - Indian shares opened lower on Wednesday, weighed down by tensions with Pakistan, while Bajaj Finance led declines despite reporting a rise in fourth-quarter profit.
The Nifty 50 .NSEI was down 0.2% at 24,291 and the BSE Sensex .BSESN dropped 0.15% to 80,179.9 as of 9:19 a.m. IST.
Nine of the 13 major sectors declined at the open. The broader small- .NIFSMCP100 and mid-caps .NIFMDCP100 fell 1.3% and 0.6%, respectively.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi granted military chiefs freedom to respond to last week's deadly militant attack in Kashmir, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Non-bank lender Bajaj Finance BJFN.NS fell 5% despite posting a higher fourth-quarter profit, as multiple brokerages flagged weak pre-provision profit and higher credit costs as negatives.
Among other stocks, private lender IndusInd Bank INBK.NS fell 3% after its CEO Sumant Kathpalia resigned with immediate effect on Tuesday, in a management shakeup triggered by derivatives accounting lapses that have hit the lender's net worth.

FACTBOX-India's central bank begins unwinding curbs on NBFCs and banks
Adds RBI lifting restrictions on Kotak Mahindra Bank
Jan 9 (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India has started to ease curbs on non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and banks after they improved their compliance following a series of supervisory restrictions.
High interest rates and tighter regulations have been cited as contributors to weak demand and a slowdown in India's economic growth, including by the federal finance ministry in a recent report.
The Indian central bank also got a new chief in December with Sanjay Malhotra taking over from Shaktikanta Das.
The following is a list of companies whose restrictions have been removed by the RBI.
KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK
The Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday lifted restrictions on Kotak Mahindra Bank KTKM.NS that had barred the lender from taking on new customers via its online and mobile banking channels, and from issuing new credit cards.
RBI had imposed business restrictions on the lender , asking it to stop adding clients through its online and mobile banking channels and issuing credit cards due to gaps in its IT infrastructure.
ASIRVAD MICRO FINANCE, DMI FINANCE, AROHAN FINANCIAL SERVICES, NAVI FINSERV
The RBI, last month, removed restrictions imposed on DMI Finance and Manappuram Finance-owned MNFL.NS Asirvad Micro Finance with immediate effect.
The regulator had in October barred the two companies, along with Arohan Financial Services and Navi Finserv, from sanctioning and disbursing loans due to "usurious" pricing and charging a significant mark-up over their funding costs.
The same restrictions on Arohan were lifted last week, and from Navi in December.
EDELWEISS ASSET RECONSTRUCTION, ECL FINANCE
The central bank last month lifted restrictions on Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction and ECL Finance, first imposed in May 2024, which barred them from acquiring financial assets or undertaking structured transactions.
The regulator was satisfied with the measures taken to address what it had called "evergreening" of distressed loans.
JM FINANCIAL
A unit of financial services firm JM Financial JMSH.NS in October resumed financing activities related to shares and debentures, including loans for IPO subscriptions after the central bank ended restrictive measures.
The RBI in March barred JM Financial Products from issuing such loans, due to regulatory violations and governance concerns.
IIFL FINANCE
In September, the RBI permitted IIFL Finance to resume issuance of gold loans.
The central bank had barred it from offering gold loans in March, citing concerns about its assessment of gold collateral and violations of the maximum permitted loan-to-value ratio, among other issues.
BAJAJ FINANCE
The RBI in May reversed curbs imposed on India's largest NBFC, Bajaj Finance, allowing it to restart loan disbursals under two of its lending products.
The restrictions were levied in November 2023 due to non-adherence with the central bank's digital lending guidelines.
