Muthoot FinCorp IPO: Profit Surges to ₹705 Cr, ₹3000 Cr Issue Planned

Muthoot FinCorp, the financial services arm of the Muthoot Pappachan Group, reported a nearly three-fold surge in net profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. The non-banking financial company (NBFC) achieved a profit of ₹705.48 crore, a significant jump from ₹179.3 crore in the same period last year, alongside plans for a substantial initial public offering.

The company has filed a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with Sebi to raise up to ₹3,000 crore through an IPO.

The funds will also support the development of digital platforms and diversification of its lending portfolio.
