Chola Finance expects mortgages and gold loans to diversify its book, reducing vehicle finance below 50% of AUM by fiscal year-end. The NBFC retained FY27 AUM-growth guidance of 20-23%, citing resilient commercial-vehicle financing and planned gold-loan branch expansion.

Why this matters

Following Cholamandalam’s Q1 profit rise of 46% to ₹1,654 crore and its ₹55,000 crore NCD plan, the lender is signaling a broader funding and portfolio shift toward mortgages and gold loans.
