Bajaj Finance shares fell 5.55% to Rs 1,086 on August 3, their sharpest intraday decline in four months, Business Today reports. The company’s market capitalisation fell to Rs 6.85 lakh crore. The fall followed draft RBI norms that would allow non-banking financial companies to offer only term loan products, while defining term loans and revolving credit. NDTV Profit reports that Morgan Stanley expects disruption to flexi and overdraft loans, putting Bajaj Finance’s $5.4 billion MSME loan book and 97.71 million EMI cards in focus. The company had reported a 27% rise in first-quarter net profit to Rs 5,985.75 crore, while assets under management grew 24% to Rs 5,46,944 crore as of June 30, 2026.
