Mumbai: Muthoot Microfin Limited has won two prestigious awards at the Inclusive Finance India Awards 2025, highlighting the company’s leadership in financial inclusion for the underprivileged. The awards were presented at the Global Inclusion Finance Summit 2026 organized by ACCESS Development Services in partnership with the Ministry of Finance, Government of India.
Muthoot Microfin was awarded the Financial Inclusion Institution of the Year award, recognizing the company’s commitment to transforming the lives of those outside the formal credit and financial services markets. Muthoot’s extensive on-ground network of 1,718 branches across the country serves 33.6 lakh customers, empowering underprivileged communities and small entrepreneurs, with a gross loan portfolio of ₹12,558.8 crore as on September 30, 2025.
Along with that, the company also won the Responsible Finance for Sustainability award, validating the company’s sustainability initiatives, with its 50+ solar-powered branches, ₹29.2 crore loan disbursals for solar products and another ₹306.5 crore in sanitation loans.
“We are honoured to receive these recognitions at a time when microfinance plays a vital role in advancing India’s financial inclusion agenda. The ‘Financial Inclusion Institution of the Year’ recognition is an acknowledgement of how deeply financial inclusion is embedded in the way Muthoot Microfin operates. Our focus has been on reaching women who are often excluded from formal finance and supporting them in building stable livelihoods through responsible, transparent lending. For us, inclusion is not measured by scale alone, but by the resilience it creates at the household level, whether through sustained income, access to essential services, or protection during periods of uncertainty. Our approach to responsible finance integrates livelihood support with sustainable practices, whether through clean energy solutions, sanitation financing, access to healthcare, or protection during times of distress. We remain committed to growing responsibly, ensuring that every initiative strengthens the communities we serve and contributes meaningfully to a more inclusive and sustainable economic ecosystem. These recognitions support our belief that long-term value for the institution is created when growth is aligned with trust, care, and meaningful impact on the communities we serve.” Mr. Sadaf Sayeed, CEO, Muthoot Microfin Limited, said in a press release to the NSE.
