- Here, NIM is a key measure of profitability, which was the lowest in 14 quarters, showing that the bank is earning less from its lending business.
- Well, the main reason for the fall was a 6.6% drop in NII, which is the bank's core income from lending, so NII fell to 11,019 crore, much lower than the market.
- Here, the bank reported the higher slippages and write-offs which compared to the previous, signaling ongoing asset quality concerns.
