Speaking about the performance Mr. Pralay Mondal, Managing Director & CEO (Interim) said, “Global headwinds notwithstanding, we are in the cusp of a steady revival in capex cycles of both public and private sectors which will have a multiplier effect throughout the economy. While our Q1 growth in advances has been powered mainly by gold loans, we are now witnessing spurt in demand for credit from SME and Mid Corporate sectors. We started well in the first quarter with a Net Profit of Rs 115 Crs posting 88% growth on a YoY basis. We continued to make accelerated provisions for stressed and NPA Accounts. The key ratios like NIM, CRAR, LCR, RoA, RoE etc continues to be strong and sanguine. On the recovery front also we did well with credit costs continuing to be negative while we have a PCR of above 90%.

As in the past, Gold loans will continue to be a major focus for the bank and we have grown by over 26% YoY. On the other retail front we are on track as per the expansion plans- we have launched a few new verticals, hiring is happening for a few others, product programs are being rolled out, policy level changes are made, systems are getting ready, tie ups are in pipeline and so on. Bolstering the core deposit franchise will also be high on our agenda in the coming quarters and the interest rate environment is very conducive for the same”
