Net interest income (NII), a key measure of a bank's profitability, climbed 17.1% YoY to Rs 596.2 crore, compared to Rs 509.2 crore in the corresponding quarter. This rise was supported by higher loan disbursements and stable interest margins.

This indicates better loan recoveries and overall portfolio health.
