However, the bank’s provisions for bad loans decreased by 25.87% to Rs 914 crore, meaning they were setting aside less money to cover potential losses from loans that might not be repaid.

The gross NPA ratio reduced to 1.58% which means that 1.58% of their loans were not being repaid. The net NPA ratio declined to 0.39% which is the percentage of loans that were not repaid after taking into account the money the bank has set aside to cover potential losses.

The Provisioning Coverage Ratio (PCR) on non-performing loans was 75% at 30 September 2025. This means they had 75% of the money needed to cover potential bad loans.
