- There is strong traction in the capital markets, corporate advisory, wealth management, and asset management businesses, with significant cross-selling between wealth and investment banking divisions.
- The gross non-performing assets (NPA) increased slightly from INR813 crores to INR835 crores, necessitating a conservative increase in provisions.
- The company took a net loss of INR101 crores on the sale value changes related to security receipts, attributed to delays in resolving underlying assets.
