The company also showed marked improvement in asset quality, with a significant reduction in Stage 3 assets to 3.4%, down from 4.0% in December 2023. Credit costs for the year were maintained within the targeted range of 1.5% – 1.7%, indicative of effective risk management strategies.
In its consolidated results, the company posted a total income of ₹4,333 crores for the fourth quarter, up by 23% YoY, and a marginal decrease in PAT by 1%, amounting to ₹671 crores. The consolidated disbursements also noted an increase of 11% YoY, reaching ₹16,174 crores.
