Bajaj Finance Business Update:

Bajaj Finance remains open for business across all categories aided by stable EMI bounce rates in Q1 FY22.
B2B and Auto Finance businesses were most affected due to strict lockdowns in the majority of states. These businesses delivered 70% of their planned volumes in April 2021 as multiple states started imposing lockdowns from the middle of April. Their volumes dropped to 40% in May 2021. 
Most states have indicated continued lockdown till 7th or 15th June. With expected reopening, June should be much better. Other lines of businesses were less impacted in April and delivered 85% of planned disbursements. 
Bajaj Finance leveraged its digital capabilities to remain largely functional during May and delivered 60% of planned disbursements. "With expected reopening, June should be much better," the company has said in its filing to exchanges. 
Q1 FY2022 will see higher impact on AUM due to lower volumes in B2B businesses. 
"Bajaj Finance has taken several actions to reduce its operating expenses and cost of funds to partially mitigate the financial impact caused by lower AUM growth," it said.
