Its net interest margin, a key measure of profitability, stood at 3.74%, while net
interest income expanded 57% to 5.93 billion rupees.
India’s burgeoning middle class has pushed up demand for housing post the

loan interest rates rose.
The Reserve Bank of India raised the key interest rate by a total of 250 basis points
since May 2022, pausing the hikes in April.
