Meanwhile, the Hinduja Group-promoted bank on Tuesday reported 67.8 per cent decline in net profit to Rs 460.64 crore in the June quarter, driven down by a five-fold increase in provisions for bad loans and special capital allocations for the pandemic.
The bank had posted a net profit of Rs 1,432.50 crore in the same quarter previous fiscal.
The massive fall in the bottom line numbers is in spite of the private sector lender clocking a 16.4 per cent growth in net interest income to Rs 3,309.2 crore, aided by a marginal increase in net interest margin to 4.28 per cent from 4.25 per cent in the reporting quarter.
