Karur Vysya Financial institution (KVB) reported one more robust quarter with Q3FY25 PAT of ₹496 crore, up round 21 per cent y-o-y (4 per cent beat). RoA sustained at over 1.65 per cent for fifth consecutive quarter. Asset high quality continues to shock with web slippages at 0.2 per cent annualised.
Internet slippages, adjusted for technical w-offs (TWO) restoration, remained destructive whereas web NPA improved additional to twenty bps. Granular development stays robust at round 20 per cent y-o-y although total development was restricted to fifteen per cent y-o-y as a consequence of acutely aware de-bulking of company e-book.
