In banking, Capital is the foundation and Deposits are the raw material for our business. With the impending equity raise, our capital adequacy will be at 17.6% (if computed at June 30, 2025). With customer deposits growing at 25.5%, our funding is strong. Our incremental Credit Deposit Ratio for the last 1 year is only 75.8%. On Asset Quality, all our businesses, other than microfinance continue to perform well, GNPA and NNPA are at 1.97% and 0.55%, respectively.

Our margins reduced because we passed on the benefit of repo rate to eligible borrowers and asset mix change, but term deposits broadly would take a year to reprice downwards. So, by H2FY26 margins is likely to be better. Also, by H2FY26, MFI issue should largely be behind us. Our customer franchise is strong. So all-in-all we are well positioned well for the future.”
