Commenting on the financial results, Mr. Dinanath Dubhashi, Managing Director & CEO, L&T Finance Holdings Ltd. said, “It gives me immense pleasure to announce that we have achieved Retailisation of 82% in Q1FY24 itself, much ahead of Lakshya 2026 goal of greater than 80% Retailisation. In fact, we have been able to achieve most of our Lakshya 2026 goals almost 3 years in advance. This achievement is attributed to the twin strategy of strongly growing the retail asset book on one side and ensuring a sharp reduction in the wholesale book on the other, while maintaining best-in-class asset quality.”
