Net interest income grew by 21%. The bank reported better-than-expected profit growth in the second quarter.

Net non-performing assets increased from 0.48 per cent to 0.59 per cent. Due to the increase in the balance on bad debts to Rs.607 crore, it was not possible to achieve adequate growth in profits.
