Despite the growth, provisions for the quarter were recorded at Rs 472.6 crore, in stark contrast to a provision write-back of Rs 319.5 crore a year ago and a decrease from Rs 711.9 crore in the previous quarter. The Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) showed an improvement, standing at 27.6%, up from 25.78% year-on-year and 25.82% quarter-on-quarter.

In terms of asset quality, the company reported an improvement in its Gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPA) ratio, which declined to 2.61% from 2.71% in the previous quarter. Similarly, the Net Non-Performing Assets (NNPA) ratio decreased to 0.82%, compared to 0.86% in the last quarter.

The board of directors has also approved an interim dividend of Rs 3.50 per equity share of Rs 10 each for the financial year 2024-25.
