Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Managing Director, JM Financial Group, said, 

“Long term potential of the Indian economy remains bright on the back of reforms like GST, RERA and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy code. Economic growth is going through an aberration caused by temporary disruptions in implementation of the GST, which we believe will get corrected.

Our fund-based businesses performed steadily during the quarter and continue to be key contributors to our profits. Our ARC business remains focussed on resolution of the existing assets and we remain selective on acquiring new assets.
Capital markets continue to remain buoyant with a consistent rise in the number of companies looking to raise capital.”
