The bank’s total income also saw a notable rise, growing to ₹9,849 crore during the July-September 2024 quarter, compared to ₹8,412 crore in the corresponding period of 2023, according to a regulatory filing.

Net Interest Income (NII), a key profitability metric, increased to ₹3,410 crore, up from ₹3,028 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. Interest income climbed to ₹8,203 crore, as compared to ₹7,351 crore in the year-ago period.

The Provision Coverage Ratio (PCR) also improved to 96.31%, up by 377 bps year-on-year, indicating the bank’s strengthened position in managing bad loans.
