Notes:
- 89% of the YoY growth in loans and
advances of the Bank is constituted by growth in Mortgage Loans, Vehicle
loans, Consumer loans, Business Banking and Wholesale loans - Credit Cards in force reached 4.3 million
during Q3 FY26. - Wealth management Business of the Bank
grew by 31% YoY to reach Rs. 58,957 crores. - Provisions for the Quarter reduced by 3.7%
QoQ from Rs. 1,452 crores to Rs. 1,398 crores.
Commenting on the results, Mr. V Vaidyanathan,
MD and CEO said “We are seeing a strong business momentum across
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.”
