IDBI Bank's net loss widened to Rs 2,410 crore in the first quarter of this fiscal against Rs 853 crore in the year-ago quarter due to a huge jump in loan loss provisions.
The net loss in the reporting quarter, however, is lower that the preceding quarter's net loss of Rs 5,663 crore.
The public sector bank, which is under RBI's prompt corrective action framework to nurse it back to health, saw its gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) rise to 30.78 per cent of gross advances as at June-end 2018 from 27.95 per cent as at March-end 2018.
