Quarter Snapshot
REC delivered a margin-led earnings decline: PAT fell 23.38% YoY as NIM compressed to 3.22%, below the management's own 3.50-3.75% band, and loan growth of 5.90% YoY missed the 11-12% target. Asset quality and capital strengthened on every axis — GNPA 0.22%, Stage-II down 80%, CRAR 24.04% — while the REC-PFC merger advanced with RBI and exchange no-objections obtained. The quarter missed prior guidance on both NIM and loan growth, with H2 NIM recovery dependent on a cost-of-funds turn that looks difficult.
