Rationale To Laxmi India Finance Ltd IPO

Scalable MSME lending model with deep rural penetration and cost-efficient  distribution

LIFL has established a strong presence in India’s underpenetrated MSME lending space, with MSME loans contributing 76.3% of AUM and over 80% of total revenues in FY25. Focused primarily on micro and small enterprises with average loan sizes between Rs. 0.05–2.5 million, these loans are secured by residential or commercial property and maintained at a conservative average LTV of 43.8%, ensuring robust asset quality. The company leverages a scalable and cost-efficient multi-channel distribution model comprising a direct on-ground sales team (77.1% of disbursements in FY25), a growing network of 194 DSAs (Direct Sales Associates) (22.0%), and emerging digital channels. Its Hub-and-Branch framework, supported by 1,470 employees (including 614 focused on MSMEs), enables deep penetration into semi-urban and rural markets while maintaining high operational efficiency. Backed by formalization tailwinds (such as Udyam), digital outreach, and the sector’s projected 20–22% AUM CAGR through FY27 (as per CARE Ratings), Laxmi India is well-positioned to scale sustainably while maintaining credit discipline in a high-growth borrower segment.

Robust credit and risk management driving prudent growth and asset quality

Laxmi India Finance has institutionalized a comprehensive, technology-enabled credit assessment and risk management framework that underpins its growth in underserved borrower segments. Operating in rural and semi-urban markets with borrowers often lacking formal income documentation, the company employs multi-level loan evaluations, combining credit bureau scores, digital underwriting, in-person assessments, and cash flow profiling to determine repayment ability. As of March 2025, 98.8% of its loan portfolio was secured, with MSME loans backed by assets at a conservative average LTV of 43.8%. The company also demonstrates credit inclusivity without compromising on quality, with 49.3% of customers having a CIBIL score above 650 and 37.1% being new to formal lending, reflecting a disciplined onboarding process for first-time borrowers. Operationally, Laxmi integrates real-time analytics through its digitised Loan Origination System (LOS), which enables automated background checks, geo-tagged collateral verification, and deviation tracking, thereby significantly reducing human error and turnaround time. To mitigate behavioural and counterparty risks, loans often include co-borrowers (such as spouses or parents), a mandated female co-borrower, and external guarantors. These thoughtful practices not only improve repayment behaviour but also broaden risk-sharing within the borrower ecosystem. With a GNPA of 1.1% and NNPA of 0.5%, it leads the peer group (except CSL Finance), demonstrating strong risk management and a healthy loan book (Source: CARE Report).

Valuation of Laxmi India Finance Ltd IPO

Laxmi India Finance Limited (LIFL) is a non-deposit taking NBFC, specialising in secured lending to micro and small enterprises (MSMEs) across semi-urban and rural India. With 76.3% of its AUM and over 80% of FY25 revenue derived from MSME loans, the company has built a focused, asset-backed lending model targeting financially underserved but high-potential borrower segments. NBFCs focused on MSME lending are expected to grow their AUM at a CAGR of ~20–22% through FY27, driven by increasing formalisation, digitisation, and structural shifts in credit demand beyond metros. Laxmi India, with its deep-rooted presence, secured lending model, and digitised underwriting, is well placed to capitalise on this multi-year growth opportunity while maintaining prudent risk controls. The company has delivered strong financial performance, with revenue growing at a CAGR of 37.7% and profit after tax expanding at 50.1% between FY23 and FY25. Its AUM nearly doubled over the period, rising from Rs. 6,868 million to Rs. 12,770 million. Net Interest Margin improved to 9.7% in FY25 from 9.3% in FY23. Return ratios also strengthened, with RoAE increasing to 15.7% and RoATA rising to 3.0% in FY25, up from 12.6% and 2.5% in FY24, respectively. Potential concerns include a decline in CRAR (from 23.1% in FY23 to 20.8% in FY25), alongside a rise in GNPA by 49 bps to 1.07% and NNPA by 16 bps to 0.48%, indicating some moderation in capital buffers and marginal deterioration in asset quality. However, we believe that the company continues to show better resilience compared to its peers. Given its high-growth sectoral tailwinds and strong business execution, we remain optimistic about the company’s growth prospects. Based on its FY25 book value, the issue is valued at a P/B ratio of 3.2x at the upper price band, which we believe is fairly valued compared to its peers. Considering the above compelling factors, we recommend a “SUBSCRIBE” rating to this issue from a long-term perspective.
