View and Valuation
Even though the bank has high exposure towards some of the stressed industries, we believe that strong growth in retail advances, higher CASA ratio, adequate CAR and substantial value unlocking of some subsidiaries will continue to support the bank in maintaining its return ratios at healthy levels.
