Quarter Snapshot
Kotak delivered 29.5% YoY standalone PAT growth with PPOP up 21.1%, GNPA at a series-low 1.04%, and cost-to-income improving to 45.23%, while advances growth of 24.8% outpaced system credit growth of 18.8%. Delivery against management's own cost-to-assets band of 2.5%-2.6% and the credit-cost moderation trend confirm execution, though funding costs are rising with interest expended outpacing NII and CASA lagging deposit growth.
