OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Growth

Indias growth trajectory remained strong in fiscal 2026, with real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth at 7.7% year-on-year from 7.1% year-on-year in fiscal 2025, driven by domestic demand, with private final consumption expenditure continuing and investment activity remaining steady. Meanwhile, Gross Value Added (GVA) year-on- year growth stood at 7.9% for fiscal 2026, driven by services and manufacturing sectors, with nominal GDP year-on-year growth at 8.9%. For fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, GDP and GVA growth stood at 7.8% year-on-year, driven by robust investment growth, while GVA growth for the quarter stood at 7.9% year-on-year. Economic activity in fiscal 2027 so far has been fairly resilient, supported by movement in high-frequency indiscators like sales of commercial vehicles, electricity demand, industrial activities and rising bank credit. However, volatility in global financial markets and weather-related events, weigh on the domestic growth outlook. The medium-term growth prospects remain positive, supported by structural reforms and continuing policy measures, though global tariff uncertainty and geopolitical developments could weigh on the outlook.

Inflation

Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), under the new series with base year 2024 released in February 2026, moved from 1.2% year-on-year in December 2025 to 3.2% in February 2026 and 3.4% in March 2026. For fiscal year 2026, average inflation stood at 2.1% year-on-year versus 4.6% year-on-year in fiscal 2025. Core inflation was at 3.4% year-on-year in January and February 2026 and moderated further to 3.36% in March 2026. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has estimated CPI at 4.6% in fiscal year 2027, reflecting the upside pressure due to higher global energy prices and concerns of below normal monsoon in 2026.

Interest rates

After keeping the policy rate unchanged for two years, the MPC embarked on an easing cycle from February 2025 onwards, with cumulative rate cuts of 125 basis points during calendar year 2025, driven by a greater degree of certainty in the decline in headline inflation, particularly

food inflation. Over the course of the year, growth projections were consistently revised upward while inflation projections were revised lower: the fiscal 2026 GDP growth estimate was raised from 6.7% at the February 2025 meeting to 7.3% by the December 2025 meeting, while the CPI estimate for fiscal 2026 was revised from 4.2% to approximately 2.0% over the same period. In the most recent policy meeting held in April 2026, the MPC kept the policy rate unchanged at 5.25%, with the stance remaining Neutral, citing risks to inflation and growth outlooks from the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Financial markets

During fiscal 2026, the Rupee depreciated by approximately 10.9% from 85.46 per USD at March 31, 2025, to 94.83 per USD at March 31, 2026. The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex declined by 7.06% during fiscal 2026 compared to an increase of 4.39% in fiscal 2025. The yields on the benchmark 10-year government securities moved from 6.58% at March 31, 2025, to 7.04% at March 31, 2026, which was also the highest level recorded during the fiscal year.

Banking sector trends

Non-food credit of the banking system grew by 16.1% year-on-year at March 31, 2026 compared to 11% year- on-year at March 31, 2025. According to the sectoral break down of credit data available, credit growth continued to be driven by services at 19% year-on-year and personal credit at 6.2% year-on-year (aided by GST rationalization) while credit to industry also increased to 15% year-on-year.

Meanwhile, deposit growth for Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) has also picked-up, with deposit growth at 13.5% year-on-year for the fortnight ending March 31, 2026, compared to 10.3% year-on-year growth seen in March 2025.

According to RBIs Financial Stability Report of December 2025, non-performing assets (NPAs) of scheduled commercial banks continued to decline, with gross NPA ratio of 2.2% and net NPA ratio of 0.5% at September 30, 2025 as compared to a gross NPA ratio of 2.3% and net NPA ratio of 0.5% at March 31, 2025.

OUTLOOK

In its first bi-monthly policy review of fiscal 2027, held from April 6 to 8, 2026, the MPC decided to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25%, maintaining the Neutral stance. The MPC noted that the ongoing conflict in West Asia poses heightened uncertainty for the global economy, with potential disruptions to supply chains and upward pressures on energy and commodity prices. On the inflation front, the RBI projected CPI inflation for fiscal 2027 at 4.6%, with the committee noting that core inflation excluding food and fuel had averaged just 2.1% in January-February 2026, reflecting benign underlying price momentum prior to the conflict. The possibility of El Nino conditions adds further uncertainty to food prices. On growth, the RBI projected GDP for fiscal 2027 at approximately 6.9%, supported by strong domestic demand, a growing services sector, higher manufacturing capacity utilisation, and government measures to boost domestic manufacturing. The Indian economy continues to be supported by sound macroeconomic fundamentals and a series of structural reforms implemented over the past several years. In this backdrop, the Bank will remain focused on its long-term strategy, aligned with Indias evolving economic landscape and growth potential, while being mindful of risks.

Net interest income increased by 8.5% from 811.65 billion in fiscal 2025 to 880.75 billion in fiscal 2026 primarily due to an increase of 8.6% in the average interest-earning assets.

Net interest margin was stable at 4.32% in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased by 36 basis points from 8.69% in fiscal 2025 to 8.33% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to a decrease in yield on average advances and investments, offset, in part, by increase in yield on other interest earning assets. The cost of funds decreased by 35 basis points from 5.10% in fiscal 2025 to 4.75% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to a decrease in cost of term deposits and saving deposits. The interest spread decreased by 1 basis points from 3.59% in fiscal 2025 to 3.58% in fiscal 2026.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the trend in yield, cost, spread and margin.

The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased

by 36 basis points from 8.69% in fiscal 2025 to 8.33% in

fiscal 2026 primarily due to the following factors:

• The yield on domestic advances decreased by 56 basis points from 9.85% in fiscal 2025 to 9.29% in fiscal 2026. The decrease in yield is primarily due to repo rate reduction and incremental lending at lower yields. Of the total domestic loan book 55.3% has interest rate linked to repo rate and other external benchmarks, 31.5% has fixed interest rates and 13.2% has interest rate linked to MCLR and other older benchmarks.

Reserve Bank of India decreased the repo rate by 100 basis points from 6.25% in February 2025 to 5.25% until March 2026. The future movement in the yield on advances will depend on the increase/decrease in the repo rate and the systemic interest rates.

The yield on overseas advances decreased by 120 basis points from 6.11% in fiscal 2025 to 4.91% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to reduction in benchmark SOFR rate.

• The yield on average interest-earning investments decreased by 17 basis points from 7.20% in fiscal 2025 to 7.03% in fiscal 2026.

The yield on Indian government securities decreased by 16 basis points from 7.23% in fiscal 2025 to 7.07% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to new investment in government securities at lower market yields.

The yield on non-SLR investments decreased by 20 basis points from 7.02% in fiscal 2025 to 6.82% in fiscal 2026. The yield on domestic non-SLR investments decreased by 15 basis points from 7.21% in fiscal 2025 to 7.06% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to a decrease in yield on commercial papers and pass through certificates and an increase in proportion of certificate of deposits which are lower yielding. The yield on overseas non-SLR investments decreased by 98 basis points from 4.84% in fiscal 2025 to 3.86% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to a decrease in yield on foreign government securities.

• The yield on other interest-earning assets increased by 96 basis points from 3.11% in fiscal 2025 to 4.07% in fiscal 2026, primarily due to an increase in income on non-trading swaps, increase in interest

on income tax refund, increase in average balance with US Federal Reserve, decrease in proportion of RIDF deposits, decrease in average balance with RBI which does not earn any interest, offset, in part, by a decrease in yield on balance with US Federal Reserve.

Further, interest on income tax refund increased from 0.84 billion in fiscal 2025 to 7.11 billion in fiscal 2026. The impact of income tax refund on NIM is 3 basis points in fiscal 2026. These receipts are neither consistent nor predictable and the amount and timing of such income depend on the nature and timing of determinations by tax authorities.

The cost of funds decreased by 35 basis points from 5.10% in fiscal 2025 to 4.75% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to the following factors:

• The cost of average deposits decreased by 29 basis points from 4.91% in fiscal 2025 to 4.62% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to a decrease in cost of domestic savings and term deposits. The cost of domestic savings account deposits decreased by 56 basis points from 3.16% in fiscal 2025 to 2.60% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to rate reduction. The cost of domestic term deposits decreased by 21 basis points from 6.65% in fiscal 2025 to 6.44% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to repricing of deposits at lower rates. The cost of overseas term deposit decreased by 100 basis points from 5.17% in fiscal 2025 to 4.17% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to change in interest rates.

The average CASA deposits as a percentage of total deposit were 38.9% in fiscal 2026 as compared to 39.0% in fiscal 2025.

• The cost of borrowings decreased by 49 basis points from 6.70% in fiscal 2025 to 6.21% in fiscal 2026. The cost of domestic borrowings decreased by 40 basis points from 6.79% in fiscal 2025 to 6.39% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to a decrease in cost and average balance of interbank participatory certificate, decrease in RBI borrowings under liquidity adjustment facility, refinance and redemption of higher cost privately placed deep discount bonds. The cost of overseas borrowings decreased by 106 basis points from 5.64% in fiscal 2025 to 4.58% in fiscal 2026 primarily due to a decrease in cost of term borrowings, offset, in part, by an increase in proportion of term borrowings. Cost of term

borrowings decreased primarily due to a reduction in the benchmark SOFR rate and repayment of higher cost borrowings.

The Banks interest income, yield on advances, net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by systemic liquidity, the competitive environment, level of additions to

non-performing loans, regulatory developments, monetary policy and economic and geopolitical factors. Interest rates on about 55.3% of Banks domestic loans are linked to external benchmarks. The differential movements in the external benchmark rates compared to cost of funds of the Bank, impacts the Banks net interest income and net interest margin.

Provision for non-performing and other assets was 40.15 billion in fiscal 2025 as compared to 62.08 billion in fiscal 2026. Provision for fiscal 2025 included reversal of provision on sale of non-retail non-performing loans to assets reconstruction companies. The Bank continues to hold full provision against the security receipts received against these non-retail non-performing loans.

During fiscal 2026, following annual supervisory review, RBI has directed the Bank to make a standard asset provision of 12.83 billion in respect of a portfolio of agricultural priority sector credit facilities wherein the terms of the facilities were found to be not fully compliant with the regulatory requirements for classification as agricultural priority sector lending. There is no change in asset classification or in the terms and conditions applicable to the borrowers or in the repayment behaviour of borrowers as per these terms. This additional standard

asset provision will continue until the loans are repaid or renewed in conformity with the PSL classification guidelines.

During fiscal 2026, the Bank primarily wrote-back a provision of 5.04 billion on redemption of security receipts and on debentures of 1.57 billion on account of receipt of funds, units and conversion into equity shares. During fiscal 2025, the Bank had made a provision of 16.05 billion on security receipts received on conversion of loans (the Bank was already holding an equivalent provision against these loans), offset, in part, by write-back of provision of 3.91 billion on investments in Alternate Investment Funds,

2.39 billion on redemption of security receipts and 0.39 billion on equity shares due to an increase in share price.

Provision for standard assets increased from 5.75 billion in fiscal 2025 to 7.68 billion in fiscal 2026 primarily due to increase in standard advances book. The Banks cumulative general provision held at March 31, 2026 was 73.18 billion (March 31, 2025: 64.45 billion).

The write-back in other provisions and contingencies was 7.56 billion in fiscal 2025 as compared to a write-back of 9.41 billion in fiscal 2026.

The Bank is an active market participant in the interest rate and foreign exchange derivative market for trading and market making purposes, which are carried out primarily for customer transactions and managing the proprietary position on interest rate and foreign exchange risk. The Bank enters into foreign exchange contracts in its normal course of business, to exchange currencies at a prefixed price at a future date. This item represents the notional principal amount of such contracts, which are derivative instruments. With respect to the transactions entered into with its customers, the Bank generally enters into off-setting transactions in the inter-bank market. This results in generation of a higher number of outstanding transactions, and hence a large value of gross notional principal of the portfolio, while the net market risk is lower. The notional amount of interest rate swaps and currency options decreased from 39,694.11 billion at March 31, 2025 to 25,626.29 billion at March 31, 2026 as part of portfolio rationalisation. The notional principal amount of

outstanding forward exchange contracts decreased from 17,294.92 billion at March 31, 2025 to 14,772.51 billion at March 31, 2026 as part of portfolio rationalisation.

The Bank records foreign exchange contracts and derivatives transactions with either hedging/balance sheet management intent or with a trading intent. All the transactions done for trading purposes are fair valued and the hedging/balance sheet management transactions (such trades are done with external counterparties only) are accounted as per the RBI guidelines/Accounting Standards.

CONCENTRATION OF EXPOSURES1

The Bank follows a policy of portfolio diversification and evaluates its total financing exposure to a particular industry in the light of its forecasts of growth and profitability for that industry. The Banks Credit Risk Management Group monitors all major sectors of the economy and

specifically tracks industries in which the Bank has credit exposures. The Bank monitors developments in various sectors to assess potential risks in its portfolio and new business opportunities. The Banks policy is to limit its portfolio to any particular industry (other than retail loans) to 15.0% of its total exposure. In addition, the Bank has a

framework for managing concentration risk with respect to single borrower and group exposures, based on the internal rating and track record of the borrowers. The exposure limits for lower rated borrowers and groups are substantially lower than the regulatory limits.
