Public sector lender Bank of Maharashtra is hopeful of achieving a 25 per cent credit growth along with higher profitability during the current financial year. The bank, which has an advance book of around Rs 40,000 crore as of now, aims to grow it to Rs 60,000 crore by end of March, 2011.
Though overall credit growth in the first half of the year was around 12 per cent, the bank hopes to attain a 25 per cent growth in advances by the end of this fiscal. The bank has already sanctioned around Rs 14,000 crore that will be disbursed shortly. The bank hopes to reduce its gross NPA to less than 3 per cent from present 3.58 and net NPA to 2 per cent from 2.18 per cent by end of this fiscal.
Net interest margin is expected to be around 2.7 per cent from 2.54 per cent for the period-ending September. Though the cost of deposits will increase from 5.24 to 5.30 by March, NIM will be higher on the back of higher yield on advances. The bank is also expected to pose a sound growth in CASA ratio in overall deposit to 41 per cent from 39 per cent as of now. It wants to increase the overall business to Rs 1, 20,000 crore, 20 per cent growth over present Rs 1, 00,000 crore.
