The small and medium enterprises are in continuous need of funds to propel their growth. Currently there exists a huge credit gap creating opportunities on large scale to extend various types of financial facilities to the sector. Despite their importance, SMEs often face persistent challenges in accessing timely and adequate financing.

As expected working capital loans to the SME continue to show lot of promise. We are continuously deepening our understanding in this segment and are committed to add value to all such small and medium enterprises by extending the most efficient financial services.

We remain dedicated to supporting SMEs through innovative and responsive financial services that not only meet their evolving needs but also contribute meaningfully to inclusive economic development.

TWO WHEELER AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE FINANCING:

According to a recent CRISIL report, the vehicle financing market is projected to witness robust growth, with the total outstanding credit in the segment expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 16%–18% during FY 2023 – FY 2027, potentially reaching a market size of over 21 Lakhs Crores.

In alignment with this positive industry outlook, we continue to strengthen our focus on Two-Wheeler and Commercial Vehicle financing. We launched our used car product recently and are in the process of building a suitable team gradually at our various area of operation. This helps us to further diversify our product offerings. Our approach remains centered on pursuing sustainable business models that ensure optimal returns on assets while maintaining a strong and resilient portfolio quality.

As we continue to enhance our credit assessment models and strengthen our digital capabilities, we are confident in scaling this segment while maintaining portfolio quality.

India's housing finance market is one of the most promising segments within the financial services landscape. Valued at approximately 30 trillion, the sector is projected to grow at a robust CAGR of 13% during FY 2023 – FY 2026. This expansion is driven by factors such as rising disposable incomes, increasing urbanisation, improved housing affordability, and supportive government initiatives like PMAY and credit-linked subsidies. Notably, housing finance continues to be the dominant category within the country's secured loan portfolio.

MAS Rural Housing & Mortgage Finance Limited ("MRHMFL" or "the Subsidiary") continues to serve the middle and the lower income segments of the economy, particularly in the semi urban and rural areas, which are expected to be the key drivers of the sector in the coming decades. Full-fledged efforts are underway to execute operations efficiently, as per the detail planning. The subsidiary remains committed on responsible lending, with a well-planned and phased execution strategy that balances growth with effective risk management. Recognising the unique challenges in rural housing finance, particularly around property title verification and documentation, MRHMFL continues to adopt a cautious and diligent approach. Despite the presence of creditworthy customers, ensuring clear and legally valid title ownership remains a key operational hurdle. The Company is actively collaborating with local stakeholders, legal experts, and government authorities to streamline process and enhance transparency. The Company's rural initiative has started showing encouraging results. .

The Company has 91 branches Pan India as on March 31, 2025. It is worth mentioning that despite of credit worthy customer class, ascertaining the title of the property remains a challenging job.

The rural housing initiative is also poised to begin delivering tangible results in the near future.

DISTRIBUTION BY PARTNERING WITH REGIONAL NBFCS AND NBFC-MFIS:

With over a decade of experience working alongside regional NBFCs and NBFC-MFIs, our conviction has only strengthened that financial inclusion in India critically depends on the efficient last-mile delivery of credit. Building and nurturing a robust value chain is essential to achieving this goal, and

NBFCs, particularly those deeply rooted in their local regions, play a pivotal role in the ecosystem.

Our partnership model, which involves collaborating with regional NBFCs and NBFC-MFIs for the distribution of diverse financial products, while also extending lines of credit to them, remains a cornerstone of our business strategy.

Consequently, infrastructure-related projects were prioritised, with the Company stepping in to provide essential facilities like fans, lights, benches, computers, construction of play area including swings and most importantly, constructing sheds to shield students from heat-related illnesses. The "MAS Shiksha Protsahan" initiative embodies the ideology of transforming lives through the continuous generation of knowledge and empowerment.

By tackling taboos and supporting informed choices, this program helps ensure dignity, health, and empowerment for rural women.

Menstrual hygiene in rural areas is a significant issue that affects the well-being and empowerment of women and girls. Menstrual hygiene is of paramount importance in rural areas, where access to resource like sanitation facilities, clean water, and affordable menstrual products is limited or absent. This lack of resources and infrastructure poses numerous challenges and can have negative consequences for women and girls during their menstrual cycles. In order to address this problem, the Company has distributed sanitary napkins to females in nearby villages, ensuring their well-being and promoting proper hygiene practices. The Company also conducted workshops and awareness sessions on menstrual hygiene management, aiming to educate women and girls about proper menstrual care and health practices.

Honoring the Sacrifice of Our Heroes – Support for Armed Forces Veterans, War Widows, and Their Families – As part of our commitment to honoring national service and valor, the Company has extended heartfelt support to the families of martyrs during our Independence Day commemorations.

Ensuring Food Security – Distribution of Food Grains - Recognizing the pressing issue of food insecurity among economically vulnerable populations, the Company has undertaken a food grain distribution initiative in the surrounding areas of Ahmedabad. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to corporate social responsibility, focusing on addressing basic human needs and supporting sustainable community development.

In response, the Company took proactive measures by organising a food distribution drive in Gujarat, wherein raw food packets comprising essential grocery items were provided to villages in need. This CSR endeavor was specifically designed to alleviate the hardships faced by vulnerable individuals and extend support to those tirelessly working on the ground with limited resources. By addressing the pressing issue of food scarcity,theCompanydemonstrateditscommitmenttosocial welfare and contributed to the well-being of communities in need. We recognise the importance of supporting not only people but also animals that play a vital role in agricultural communities. During the year. Our CSR initiative has focused on providing essential food supplies to cows and cattle, ensuring their well-being and supporting local farmers who rely on these animals for their livelihood.

One of the distinguishing aspects of our CSR approach is that all activities, including this food grain distribution initiative, are carried out directly by the Company rather than merely transferring funds to third-party NGOs or external agencies.

The Company has established a dedicated CSR department staffed with committed professionals who personally plan, implement, monitor, and complete these programs on the ground.

While this direct involvement requires significant time and resource investment, it ensures greater transparency, accountability, and effectiveness in delivering impact. By eliminating intermediaries, the Company can closely oversee the execution of projects, promptly address challenges, and adapt interventions to local needs.
