Accordingly, our reclassified business segments are as follows:
Commenting on the results and financial performance, Mr. Vishal Kampani, Managing Director, JM Financial Group, said,
“We have reported our highest ever quarterly operating net profit. Our diversified business model has demonstrated time and again resilience through economic and market volatility. This new realignment of business segments will facilitate seamless execution of our strategy. Over the last few years, the integration amongst the various sub businesses in IWS has worked extremely well. We believe that the new realignment will scale our businesses from the current levels and also ensure focus on new initiatives.
The Investment Bank has demonstrated strong performance and the pipeline is robust. The Alternative and Distressed credit business witnessed significant recovery during the quarter and contributed to the overall profitability of the Group. The disbursements in the Wholesale Mortgage Lending business will pick up post travel and other restrictions are eased. The infrastructure network of Retail Mortgage Lending is being built out rapidly. Platform AWS businesses have been integrated to focus on individual customer segments’ investment and savings needs. The Platform AWS business will be actively investing in various digital initiatives to enable rapid growth and top quality customer experience.
Overall, our strong balance sheet, well capitalised and diverse set of businesses and strategic client-focused approach positions us to perform well and drive sustainable value for our stakeholders as we are hopeful about economic revival in the year ahead.”

The last quarter has been impacted due to lockdowns faced in different geographies in different measures. Though the collections seen from projects in the quarter were still heathy, the footfalls in the projects saw a sharp decline and hence impacted the fresh sales in most projects. Having said that the general sentiment towards residential real estate remains positive and we are witnessing increased demand across ticket sizes. We are also witnessing rapid consolidation in the sector whereby the amount of sales done by top developers as a percentage of overall sales is increasing gradually and significantly. Given the reduction of the inventory overhang across geographies and the rise in demand, developers are looking at acquiring new projects and we will witness increase in new launches.
All the above have been in line with our expectations and we feel that this end user driven sales is here to stay. We are cautiously evaluating opportunities across geographies and will look at gradually increasing the lending book. However, the fear of the third wave continues to keep us cautious in underwriting loans.
