On the asset quality front, CE was impacted over 1QFY22, which resulted in a deterioration in asset quality. However, it showed a strong recovery in Jul’21, pointing towards a quicker recovery. Restructured book increased to 7.5% of loans (guidance of ~12%), which keeps us watchful on asset quality in the near term.
