Speaking about the performance, Pralay Mondal, Managing Director & CEO said, “This is the second year of our SBS 2030 vision. In a journey like this what is more important is relentlessly pursuing the vision set in enjoying the ups and surfing through the challenges as a team. Despite the challenges posed by the economic conditions, regulatory changes, liquidity constraints, increased competition etc., we got our priorities right and could post reasonably good numbers.
We could register a net profit of Rs 567 crore; backed by a 20% growth in Business; 18% net loan book growth and 21% deposit growth. We continued to grow faster than the average industry growth trends in both deposits and advances. Our operating profit recorded a growth of 11% supported by growth in NII and other income. Key indicators like NIM, CRAR, RoA, NPA ratios etc. continue to be strong. We continued our efforts in building the distribution by opening another 76 branches.
The most critical milestone that we look forward to in FY 25 is the roll out of phase I of CBS migration and the right execution will act as a catalyst in our progressive journey. We will be strengthening the SME & Corporate segments and strive for a better market share without losing our focus on retail including gold. Business mix will tilt towards the anticipated SME & WSB segment and for the betterment of the Bank."
