SBI Life-owned NBFC stock Paisalo Digital on Tuesday, January 6, announced it had secured ₹188.5 crore to reduce the cost of funds, strengthen capital efficiency, and scale growth initiatives.
The small-cap NBFC said it had raised the money at an annual ROI of 8.5% through its latest listed issuances in Q3.
In an exchange filing on January 6, the company said: “Paisalo Digital has successfully raised nearly ₹188.5 crores at an annual ROI of 8.5% through its latest listed issuances in Q3. This raise highlights the company’s strong credit profile, disciplined risk management, and robust balance‑sheet strength.”
The company said this issuance may meaningfully reduce its cost of funds, strengthen its medium-term capital base, and enhance its lending capacity.
This raise comes at a time when NBFCs with strong governance and disciplined underwriting are expected to emerge as beneficiaries of evolving market dynamics.
It said it will deploy the proceeds to support its pan‑India expansion across 22 states and UTs, deepen its High Tech–High Touch distribution model, and accelerate the rollout
of new lending products aimed at micro‑entrepreneurs, self‑employed borrowers, and underserved income segments.
With 4,380 touchpoints and a rapidly growing customer franchise, Paisalo is positioned to capture a larger share of India’s formalising MSME and income‑generation credit ecosystem.
