Strategic Profile

CreditAccess Grameen Limited is India's largest NBFC-MFI serving low-income households through joint liability group lending models. In March 2026, the company announced a significant syndicated social loan facility totaling USD 75 million, demonstrating access to global capital markets. The company's net profit swung to Rs 252.1 crore in Q3 FY26, compared with a loss of Rs 99.5 crore in Q3 FY25, signaling operational recovery.

Cyborg Score Rationale

CreditAccess Grameen reported strong operational performance for FY26, led by healthy disbursement growth, portfolio expansion and improvement in asset quality, with overall X-bucket collection efficiency at 99.84% in March 2026. However, the company has a low return on equity of 13.8% over the last 3 years, and recent financials show a sharp decline in profitability despite steady loan book growth.
