The bank’s net profit stood at Rs 89.09 crore in the corresponding quarter a year ago, its MD & CEO N Kamakoti told reporters.
A 25 per cent growth in operating profit and 44 per cent growth in total provisions besides restructuring of assets have spurred this growth.

Gross and net NPAs stood at 2.12 per cent and 1.31 per cent, respectively, he said.
Responding to a query regarding lending to SpiceJet, Kamakoti said that the net exposure of Rs 100 crore has been “collateralised by immoveable collaterals’’, and that there was no overdue.
