Tata Capital Limited (TATACAP) Q2 Results FY27 Preview: Date, Time, Expectations & Key Things To Watch

Cofacto Research Published October 22, 2026 6 min read

Tata Capital is a diversified Tata-group NBFC lending across retail, SME, housing and corporate books, and its Q2 print lands in a quarter when NBFC credit growth accelerated sharply even as bond yields hardened. The results will speak to whether AUM growth converges back into the 23-25% guided corridor and whether the +10 bps FY27 NIM target survives a rising cost of funds.

Tata Capital Limited Q2 Results Date and Time

The board will meet on October 27, 2026 to approve unaudited standalone and consolidated Q2/H1 FY27 results and to consider enhancing the aggregate limit of the existing MTN Programme via foreign currency bonds/debt instruments through ECB. The trading window was closed from September 23 to October 29, 2026.

The analyst/investor earnings call is scheduled for October 27, 2026 at 6:30 PM IST, following a media call at 5:30 PM IST, for the unaudited Q2/H1 FY27 results. MD & CEO Rajiv Sabharwal and CFO Rakesh Bhatia will lead the call.

What to expect from Tata Capital Limited's Q2 FY27 results

The demand backdrop for Q2 was strong on every flow the blended book rides on: NBFC retail credit accelerated to +22.0% YoY in August, NBFC personal-loan growth ran at ~30% YoY (CRIF data cited by UBS), and CV retail prints of +24.04% (July), +20.1% (August) and +37.62% (September) support the guided 80%+ FY27 CV disbursement growth, though part of the September print is base distortion from the Sep 2025 GST 2.0 deferral. The funding line moved the other way: the 10-year G-Sec hardened ~21 bps through the quarter (6.84% end-July to 7.05% on Sep 21), AAA 3-year corporate yields rose 20 bps Aug to Sep, and the company's own Rs. 3,000 Cr NCD priced at 8.05% p.a. on Sep 8, with cost of funds already up 13 bps QoQ to 7.28% in Q1 against a +8-10 bps full-year guide. On a ~70% floating-rate book, asset-side repricing is the offset to watch against this funding drift, with the +10 bps FY27 NIM target the most at-risk guided metric after Q1's QoQ NII-margin compression from 42.61% in Q4 FY26. Credit cost printed at 1.0% in Q1, at the edge of the <1.0% FY28 corridor, as the unsecured mix rises toward 12% and the disbursement-to-book gap is expected to narrow over the next 2-3 quarters. The call is also likely to cover Yogloans RBI-approval status (guided towards end of calendar year 2026) and the October 27 board agenda item on enhancing the MTN/ECB programme limit.

Key Things To Watch

Performance vs FY28 guidance tracking: Management has reaffirmed the FY25-FY28E guidance every quarter since Q2FY26.

  • AUM CAGR 23-25% (FY25-FY28E) — Q1FY27 tracked +22.3% YoY, slightly below corridor
  • PAT CAGR >30% (FY25-FY28E) — Q1FY27 tracked +56.3% YoY
  • Cost-to-income 33-34% by FY28 — Q1FY27 at 36.4%
  • Credit cost <1.0% FY28 corridor — Q1FY27 at 1.0%; ROA 2.5-2.7% by FY28 vs 2.3% in Q1FY27; ROE 17-18% by FY28 vs 13.7%

Cost of funds vs the +8-10 bps FY27 guide

  • Q1 cost of funds rose +13 bps QoQ to 7.28%, already ahead of the +8-10 bps full-year average guidance
  • AAA 3-year corporate yields hardened +20 bps Aug to Sep and the company's Sep 8 NCD priced at 8.05% p.a.; post-quarter, the MPC hiked the repo 25 bps to 5.50% on Oct 7, 2026

NIM bridge and ROA build

  • NIM guidance of +10 bps for FY27, set Jul-26, does not bake in policy-rate actions; ~70% of the book is floating-rate
  • Q1FY27 NII margin compressed QoQ from 42.61% in Q4 FY26 as finance costs rose 8.8% QoQ vs interest income +6.0%
  • ROA improvement guided as two-thirds margin and one-third operating leverage; further credit-cost reduction 'will be considered a bonus'

Yogloans acquisition and Motor Finance turnaround

  • Yogloans: ~88.6% stake at pre-money equity value up to Rs. 318 Cr; RBI approval guided towards end of calendar year 2026 and still pending as of latest retrieved coverage; 500+ branches and Rs. 4,000-5,000 Cr portfolio targeted over 2.5-3 years post-approval

Disbursement-to-book convergence and credit cost

  • Q1FY27 disbursements of Rs. 46,212 Cr grew +33% YoY vs book growth of ~10% in unsecured products; management expects the gap to narrow over the next 2-3 quarters
  • Credit cost at 1.0% in Q1FY27 sits at the edge of the <1.0% corridor as unsecured mix rises from 10.3% toward 12% and gold loans scale
  • Geopolitical/CV/MSME monitoring continues, with tighter underwriting applied in sub-segments such as hotels and travel; no material stress observed so far in CV and MSME portfolios

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Tata Capital's operating expenses grow faster than revenue in Q1 FY27?

CFO Rakesh Bhatia clarified that Q1-to-Q1 opex growth is not comparable due to an appraisal-cycle change, and the normalized YoY growth is 16%. Cost-to-income is guided to 33-34% by FY28.

Is Tata Capital confident about credit cost as it expands into gold loans?

Management said the gold business is 'probably more safer than the others' and expressed confidence in holding the credit-cost guidance. The company will monitor gold prices and customer leverage before aggressive growth.

How will Tata Capital achieve its 10 bps NIM improvement guidance for FY27?

The 10 bps NIM increase is targeted for the whole year and management is not baking in policy-rate actions. With about 70% of the book floating-rate, any rate increase would be passed on.

Is Tata Capital on track with its AUM growth guidance?

Management pointed to the FY25-FY28 AUM CAGR guidance of 23-25% and said 'we are on track', later reiterating a preference to remain within the 23-25% range. Q1FY27 AUM grew 22.3% YoY to Rs. 2,90,502 Cr.

What is the status of the Yogloans acquisition?

The board approved acquiring ~88.6% of Yogakshemam Loans Ltd at a pre-money equity valuation not exceeding Rs. 318 Cr, subject to regulatory approvals. RBI approval is expected by end of calendar year 2026, after which 500+ branches and a Rs. 4,000-5,000 Cr portfolio are targeted over 2.5-3 years.
