About U GRO Capital
UGro Capital Limited, formerly known as Chokhani Securities Limited, was acquired in 2018 by Shachindra Nath, its Vice Chairman and Managing Director. Since then, the company has focused on providing tailored financial solutions to India’s MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) sector. UGro offers a variety of lending products with diverse tenors and ticket sizes to cater to the unique needs of MSMEs. With a vast network of 164 branches across the country, UGro has rapidly expanded its Assets Under Management (AUM), which stood at INR 92.2 billion as of 1QFY25, with 45% of AUM managed through off-book volumes. The company is publicly listed on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), solidifying its position as a key player in MSME lending.
Strengths
- Strong AUM Growth: UGRO’s Assets Under Management (AUM) grew multi-fold, reaching INR 92.2 billion by 1QFY25 from INR 13.2 billion in FY21, driven by both on-book and off-book expansions.
- Diversified Exposure: UGRO operates across the MSME segment with a geographically and sectorally diversified portfolio. No state contributes more than 15% to its AUM, reducing regional risk.
- Adequate Capital Buffers: The company maintains a strong capital base of INR 14.38 billion as of FY24, and its capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is 20.75%, ensuring sufficient reserves to support future growth.
- Strong Co-Lending Partnerships: UGRO has built significant partnerships with 12 co-lending partners, including six public sector banks, allowing for risk-sharing and capital-light growth through off-balance sheet products.
- Technology-Driven: UGRO has invested in technology, data analytics, and automated lending processes, enhancing efficiency in sourcing, underwriting, and monitoring loans.
Weakness
- Limited Track Record: Established in 2018, UGRO has a relatively short operational history, and 62% of its AUM was generated in the last 12 months, indicating low portfolio seasoning.
- High Credit Costs: The company’s credit costs are elevated at 2.7%, and the gross NPA on a one-year lagged basis stood at 4.8% in 1QFY25, reflecting higher risk in asset quality.
- Moderate Profitability: While UGRO has been profitable, its cost-to-income ratio remains elevated at 54.06%, putting pressure on overall profitability.
- High Operational Costs: The expansion of its branch network (164 currently, with plans for 250 branches by FY25) and a focus on granular portfolios are expected to keep operational costs high.
- Leverage Risks: While leverage has reduced to 2.36x at the end of 1QFY25, the company targets to keep it within 4.0x, and any deterioration in funding or asset quality could strain its financial position.
