Bajaj Finance shares fall 6% as rising credit costs and worsening asset quality overshadow strong Q1 loan growth and profit.

• Asset quality slips to 1.03% from 0.96% QoQ and 0.86% YoY, raising investor concerns.
• Stock leads losses on Nifty Financials and Nifty 50, both down 0.5% during early trade.
• Despite a profit beat, elevated risks weigh on sentiment, triggering a sharp sell-off in the early hours.
