The company saw a 23% year-on-year growth in profit after tax (PAT), reaching ₹171 crore for the quarter ending June 2026. This growth was aided by a 16.6% rise in net interest income (NII), highlighting a stronger core lending performance for the period.

Asset quality remained strong, with the 1+ days past due (DPD) ratio improving by 39 basis points year-on-year to 3.76%. Gross non-performing assets (GNPA) fell by 11 basis points to 1.11%, and net non-performing assets (NNPA) improved by 13 basis points to 0.71%.

The company indicated that these results reflect the efficacy of its risk
