Commenting on the results, Mr. V Vaidyanathan,

all our main lines of businesses, including lending, deposits, wealth
management, transaction banking etc.  Our asset quality has improved with
GNPA at 1.69% and Net NPA at 0.53% as of 31st December 2025. On cost
of funds, we expect it to further drop from here because of recent revision in
savings rates, which will enable us to expand our lending franchise.”
