We are consistently progressing on our strategic journey of building a leading multi-product retail business, optimally running down Wholesale 1.0*book and building a granular Wholesale 2.0^ book. During this quarter, we also made progress on underlying profitability and asset quality of our portfolio.
We are also pleased that we completed the share buyback during the quarter, thus reiterating our commitment to value creation. Our balance sheet reflects a robust financial position, characterized by strong net worth and capital adequacy ratio.
Our retail lending business is consistently growing, driven by increased disbursements to fulfil the credit needs of the “Bharat” market. We will continue investing in talent, branches, cognitive intelligence, and data analytics to keep this momentum going.
In wholesale lending, we have significantly reduced our Wholesale 1.0* AUM, with a concerted effort to further streamline this portfolio. Our Wholesale 2.0^bookis performing well, in line with or ahead of underwriting.”
