It was possible mainly on account of various cost reduction measures, robust treasury profit and a decent growth in interest income on account of improved interest spread. It gives immense satisfaction that we have successfully sailed through the COVID 19 affected first full quarter. Going forward we will continue to be “Cautious and Conservative” and I am confident that we will continue to ensure a steady and sustainable performance as hitherto.”
