The bank’s capital adequacy ratio stood at 12.5 per cent as on June 30, 2012.
“We aim to grow our business by 20 per cent. We have adequate capital to support this growth for the next two years. Post that we might look at several options like follow-on public offer or we might even approach the Government,” he said.
