Despite a 14 per cent rise in provisions and contingencies at Rs 1,359 crore, the figure was 37 per cent lower sequentially. Consolidated net provisions declined to Rs 1,550.28 crore from Rs 2,239.98 crore a year ago.
Asset quality improved, with gross non-performing assets (NPAs) falling to 1.28 per cent from 1.43 per cent a year earlier, while net NPAs eased to 0.33 per cent from 0.35 per cent.
The lender declared a dividend of Re 1 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2025.
