- Consolidated income increased in the September quarter, while expenses also moved higher year on year.
- The proposed acquisition would make Sundaram Alternate Assets a direct subsidiary of Sundaram Finance.
- R Venkatraman became chairman after S Viji stepped down from the board leadership.
Sundaram Finance reported a 6 percent year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to 517 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The result was carried by Business Standard in a Business Standard report published on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
Consolidated net profit rose from 488 crore in the year-earlier July-September quarter. Total consolidated income increased to 2,749 crore from 2,401 crore, while total expenditure climbed to 2,004 crore from 1,751 crore. Interest income reached 2,330 crore, compared with 2,015 crore a year earlier.
Asset management deal changes structure
The board approved the proposed purchase of the entire shareholding in Sundaram Alternate Assets Limited from Sundaram Asset Management Company Limited. The cash consideration is capped at 75 crore, excluding stamp duty, taxes and other charges. The transaction would turn Sundaram Alternate Assets into a direct subsidiary rather than a step-down subsidiary.
Sundaram Alternate Assets serves high-net-worth individuals, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices and institutions. The proposal is therefore relevant beyond the quarter's earnings because it would simplify the group's ownership structure and bring the asset-management business closer to the parent company.
Leadership change adds governance focus
S Viji relinquished his positions as non-executive director and chairman. The board elected independent director R Venkatraman as the new chairman. The change places board continuity alongside earnings growth and the proposed internal restructuring among the company's main corporate developments.
