·Economic Times·Impact 4/5 · High
MeridStreet AI summary

Utkarsh Small Finance Bank has reported a loss of Rs 70 crore for the second quarter, marking its sixth consecutive quarter of decline. This loss is due to provisions of Rs 166 crore outweighing the bank's operating profit of Rs 85 crore. The bank's financial performance is a concern for investors, as it may impact the overall health of the Indian banking sector. The bank's gross loan portfolio has grown by 7.5% year-on-year, but this growth may not be enough to offset the bank's ongoing losses.
