Nisus Finance Reports No Balance Sheet Impact From Gulf Developments

10 Mar 2026 CW Team

Nisus Finance Services Co Limited said on fifth March 2026 that geopolitical developments in parts of the Gulf are being closely monitored. The company reported that investments through its DIFC?based fund remain unaffected and that there is no impact on the company’s balance sheet. The UAE team remains engaged and business activities continue without disruption.

The company said the fundamentals of the UAE real estate market remain intact and it has acquired pre?leased residential assets at attractive valuations. The Net Asset Value (NAV) and management fee income remain unaffected and the company is evaluating investment opportunities that may generate additional alpha. The portfolio is fully insured against force majeure events.

The company acknowledged that geopolitical uncertainty can affect market sentiment and cause short?term volatility but said it does not alter underlying business fundamentals. It noted that speculative capital flows may delay some near?term investment decisions while expressing a positive medium to long term outlook for the UAE economy supported by structural fundamentals, policy stability and capital inflows. The company reaffirmed that its capital position is strong, the investment pipeline is intact and risk management remains disciplined while India operations are accelerated.

The company provided an update on deleveraging and promoter share pledge reduction, saying that in August it raised Rs 1.1 billion (bn) from Tata Capital and DSP to support the NCCCL acquisition. It reported an early repayment of Rs 100 million (mn) on 26 February, leaving an outstanding principal of Rs 380 million (mn), and said that more than two thirds of the original borrowing has been repaid within seven months. Consequently promoter share pledge is proposed to be reduced to 4497928 shares, representing around 18.84 per cent, and the company will keep the stock exchange informed.
