Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd (BSE: 544252; BAJAJHFL) reported a 21% rise in third-quarter profit on Monday, driven by double-digit growth in its assets under management and strong disbursement momentum despite a competitive lending environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company, a subsidiary of Bajaj Finance, posted a net profit of INR665 crore ($80.2 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025, up from INR548 crore a year earlier. Assets under management (AUM) grew 23% to INR1,33,412 crore, supported by a diversified portfolio where home loans account for 54.5% of total assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Context<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Indian mortgage lenders have benefited from sustained demand in the premium and mid-segment housing markets, even as higher borrowing costs prompted some moderation in the broader real estate sector. Bajaj Housing Finance noted that while real estate demand has shown some signs of cooling, its focus on salaried prime customers and commercial lease rental discounting has helped maintain scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
