Management Commentary: “The Bank’s Q2 FY24 performance is a testament to the strength of the core franchise that the bank has built through significant strategic interventions during the last three years. Amidst a challenging environment with respect to interest rates, deposit growth slowdown, as well as tightening liquidity, the bank has managed to deliver Yo-Y expansion in both operating profitability and net profitability. At the same time, the fortification of Balance Sheet from Asset Quality standpoint continues, supported by robust redemptions from the Security Receipts." Prashant Kumar, Managing Director & CEO.
