The first is to consolidate our position as a market leader by building on distribution strength. The second and equally important effort is on the recovery front, to reduce non-performing assets (NPA).The initial trends from this festive season are in a positive direction and hopefully, we should be able to maintain the current growth trajectory in the remaining quarters of this financial year.”
