Commenting on the financial performance, Sanjaya Gupta, Managing Director, PNB Housing Finance said: “With testing times continuing for this sector, the company maintained its focused approach towards continued business growth, portfolio quality and financial performance.
As a prudent practice, the company has created excess provisions out of the profits arising on account of corporate tax rate cuts announced recently by the Government.
We will focus on raising equity capital, efficient utilisation of resources, improvement in costs, maintain robust asset quality and reducing gearing levels”
For the six months ended September 30, PNB Housing Finance has recorded 28 per cent growth in net profit at Rs 651 crore (Rs 509 crore)
