New Delhi: Shriram Transport Finance Co. Ltd (STFC) has reported an increase of 16.5% in its net profit at 374.10 crore for the quarter ended June 2016.

Net profit was at 321.11 crore in the same quarter of 2015-16. “Total income is 2,685.99 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, whereas the same was at 2,353.34 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2015,” the company said in a regulatory filing.

STFC said its March quarter numbers include those of Shriram Equipment Finance Co. Ltd, which has been amalgamated with the firm with effect from 1 April 2015 and are therefore not comparable with other quarters.

STFC’s net interest income for the June quarter stood at 1,346.10 crore as against 1,135.61 crore a year ago. The asset under management as on 30 June stood at 74,808.46 crore compared with 60,531.72 crore a year earlier.

STFC, a non-banking financial company, is the flagship of the Shriram Group, which has significant presence in consumer finance, life insurance, general insurance, stock broking and distribution businesses.
