Rise in revenue
Revenues increased to Rs 117 crore (Rs 74.5 crore). Due to the increase in loan disbursements outside Andhra Pradesh, net interest income was higher, the company said in a release on Thursday.
In the last few quarters, the company’s turnaround strategy of fully providing for the Andhra Pradesh exposure, managing supply-side shocks, cost structure optimisation and recapitalisation led to profits, its Chief Financial Officer, S. Dilli Raj told Business Line.
The non-AP portfolio as on June 30, 2013 stood at Rs 2,003 crore.
“By the year-end, this will go up to Rs 2,800-3,000 crore, with a projected disbursal of about Rs 4,800 crore.
The profit after tax for the current financial year could be around Rs 60 crore,” he added.
