Kathpalia added that the bank’s deposits grew 15 per cent, whereas loans rose 18 per cent YoY. The loan growth was broad-based across consumer and corporate portfolios. “Our operating profit margins continue to be amongst the best in the industry supported by NIM (net interest margin) expanding to 4.24 per cent from 4.21 per cent QoQ. Our GNPAs and NNPAs reduced QoQ from 2.35 per cent to 2.11 per cent and 0.67 per cent to 0.61 per cent, respectively, driven by meaningful reduction in slippages.”
He also said that the bank’s profit after tax was at Rs 1,805 crore growing 11 per cent QoQ and 57 per cent YoY. Its capital adequacy ratio at 18.01 per cent is well above the regulatory requirements.
