Business
Paragon Finance Limited (PARAGONF.BO) is a non-banking financial company (NBFC) registered with the Reserve Bank of India that provides loans against hypothecation of vehicles and makes investments in shares and securities. The company offers lending services to business concerns, individuals, and group entities, including inter-corporate loans; it also deploys funds in mutual funds and other financial instruments, with a significant portion of its assets under management comprising loans to group companies. Incorporated on July 21, 1986, and headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, Paragon Finance operates primarily within the Indian market, focusing on the consumer finance and investment segments. In recent developments, the company's promoters initiated a process in 2024 to sell their stake, culminating in an open offer to public shareholders announced on July 25, 2024, for up to 26% of voting share capital, alongside receipt of a no-objection certificate from the Reserve Bank of India for the stake transfer. Paragon Finance has been gradually reducing disbursements in its vehicle financing operations with intentions to discontinue them, leading to a decline in assets under management as of March 2024. Financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, showed standalone net sales of Rs 1.51 crore, up 42.9% year-over-year, though the company reported challenges with declining revenues in prior quarters amid the strategic shift.
