The full read
City Union Bank turned in ₹383 crore net profit for the June quarter, a 25% leap from a year ago, as provisions eased and net interest income grew. Gross NPA slipped to 1.73% from 1.91% in March, extending the decline to its lowest in a decade. Net NPA at 0.61% keeps the asset quality story intact. The quarter marks the first full period under MD R. Vijay Anandh, who took over in May. A routine quarterly beat, the numbers were largely anticipated but the trajectory is constructive. With 21.73% capital adequacy and a ₹500 cr QIP in the pipeline, the bank has room to push growth without straining its balance sheet.
