Operations

The rural sentiments continue to remain low in view of the delayed monsoons. Floods in some parts of the country and below normal rainfalls in some geographies have impacted the sentiments and economic activities during the quarter. The customers' cash flows continue to be under pressure resulting, both in poor off-take of vehicles, tractors and repayment of loans.

With the increased number of branches and trained employees, we have been able to improve our performance in the second quarter in spite of weak market conditions. During the quarter the measures taken for improving collections have worked well and there have been reasonable improvements in the Non Performing Assets. Even though the Automobile and Tractor industries have not registered high growth, with our deep penetration and relationships with OEMs and dealers we were able to register a growth in disbursement over the previous quarter.

Mahindra Finance currently has a network of 1055 offices and Total Assets Under Management of Rs.35694 crores as on 30th September, 2014 as against Rs.31146 crores as on 30th September, 2013, a growth of 15%.

The Company continued to broad base its consortium of lenders by bringing in new Banks, Mutual Funds, Insurance Companies and Trusts.
