The company has not availed moratorium so far on its borrowings. It has a strong liquidity position with Rs 7,169 crore as cash balance as of June end, with a total liquidity position of Rs 11,677 crore (including undrawn sanctioned lines), it said.
Commenting on the Q1 result, Arun Alagappan, the managing director (MD) of CIFCL, has stated that: "It was a challenging quarter for the NBFC industry with muted disbursements and a slowdown in repayments due to the moratorium and lockdown. Chola's response was comprehensive, with our treasury ramping up liquidity, our tech team identifying and deploying digital interventions for disbursements and collections, our analytics team being able to identify vulnerable segments and more importantly, our business teams adapting to the new normal of driving business despite working away from offices. Valuable learnings from these past few months shall remain with us for many more years to come."
"While it was important to respond to the COVID-19 shock, it was also equally important for us to not lose focus of the company's long-term aspirations. Optimizing the company's cost structure was strategically important for us. The quarter gone by helped us critically evaluate our expenses, with an improvement already visible - our opex ratio has come down to 2.2% from 2.6% just a quarter before. During the quarter, we have initiated a comprehensive process transformation program for the vehicle finance business. The LAP business has rolled out its newly developed Loan Origination and Loan Management System during the quarter gone by."
"Looking ahead, we expect disbursements to improve, considering our diversified product portfolio and pan India presence. We will also continue to retain our increased focus on the collections and cost fronts," he added.
