Speaking about the performance Pralay Mondal, Managing Director & CEO said, “The last quarter gone by was reasonably stable for us. Our efforts have always been to grow 30 to 50% faster than the system. The liquidity conditions that prevailed in the system did pose some challenges in funds management. We focused more on deposits this quarter and could register a growth of 21% on a YoY basis whereas the industry grew by 13%. On the advance front (net) we registered a growth of 23% vis a vis 16% industry (without merger). Gold, Retail ex-gold and SME did well in the quarter with a YoY growth of 23%, 44%, and 28% respectively. Effective fund management duly factoring in the cost considerations helped us to maintain an NIM of above 5% for Q3 and 9MFY24. All other key ratios like CRAR, RoA, NPA ratios, etc continue to be strong. SBS journey got the much-needed booster when we kick-started the CBS migration project in the bank. A detailed blueprint has been prepared for the implementation and we are progressing there. Once the products/processes stabilize after the new CBS rollout, our customer acquisition pace will go up significantly and will lay a stronger foundation for the scale phase. Our vision is to transform from a small bank to a midsized bank by FY 2030 and the entire team is working passionately to make this a reality." Result PDF
