Shriram Gilts received approval to begin primary dealer operations on October 16, 2026, adding government bond market making and debt underwriting to Shriram Finance's activities, Sahi Markets reported. The approval gives the subsidiary direct access to primary government debt issuance.

Approval broadens treasury operations

The new authorization moves Shriram Gilts beyond a financing support role and into regulated sovereign debt market making. Sahi Markets said the activity could diversify treasury income, while also exposing the business to interest-rate, underwriting and compliance risks.

In a July 25, 2026 research update, DSIJ reported that Prabhudas Lilladher retained a INR 1,250 target and raised its fiscal year 2027 and fiscal year 2028 earnings estimates. The broker's target was based on 2.4 times March 2028 adjusted book value.

What does the approval add?

The operating backdrop was already expanding. Shriram Finance reported first-quarter fiscal year 2027 disbursements of INR 499.7 billion, up 19.5 percent year over year, while assets under management rose 15.3 percent year over year to INR 3,138.0 billion, according to DSIJ. Management reiterated 18 percent AUM growth guidance for fiscal year 2027, making the treasury initiative an additional growth channel rather than a replacement for vehicle and non-vehicle lending.
