The full read

Capital Trust’s FY26 results reveal a business in retreat. The micro-lender posted a net loss of ₹46.8 cr, a sharp reversal from the ₹1.1 cr profit reported in the prior year. Revenue fell to ₹42.4 cr, driven by a steep decline in interest and fee income. The company’s loan book now stands at ₹31.3 cr, as management pulled back from unsecured lending to manage collection stress. Impairment charges of ₹12.3 cr further pressured the bottom line, leaving the company with total equity of ₹61.5 cr, down from ₹85.9 cr. For a firm with a market capitalization of roughly ₹47 cr, these losses are substantial. The board has set the annual general meeting for September 18, 2026, but the primary test for the company is whether it can halt the erosion of its capital base.
