Strong AUM growth (9% QoQ), largely stable NIMs (~7%) in rising interest rate environment, and improved asset quality (gross stage-3 assets (GS-3) of 3.5% vs 3.8% in Q2FY23) sum up a very strong Q3FY23 for Cholamandalam Investment and Finance (Chola). Consequently, PPOP grew 4% QoQ despite 14% QoQ increase in opex while lower credit cost led to 22% QoQ growth in PAT.
