George Alexander Muthoot, Managing Director, said the standalone profit after tax increased by 8 per cent for Q2 at ₹867 crore. Though we were able to migrate teaser loans to higher rates, full impact transformation will take few more quarters. Despite the rising interest rate scenario, we were able to maintain our borrowing cost at 7.98 per cent for Q2 FY23. In the coming quarters, we expect the borrowing cost to remain in that range mainly due to the positive impact on account of retirement of ECB amounting to $450 million in October 2022 which carried a high cost. 

We expect that our improved focus on loan disbursements and recovery measures as well as borrowing cost will enable us to maintain NIM around 11-12 per cent. We continue to invest in our various digital initiatives along with our Gold loan@home service. We will continue to work on strengthening our growth strategy with focus on branch expansion and digital strategy”
