"We are growing strong year-on-year. In the current fiscal, we expect to grow at least 20 per cent in assets and capital will not be a constrained," Deputy VP, Sandip G Joshi said on the sidelines of the second tranche of NCD issue, aggregating up to ₹4,126 crore.
He said equity infusion in the current fiscal can also go up to ₹1,500 crore.
"However, the infusion will depend on actual growth," Joshi said adding that the company ideally maintains around 150 basis points above the regulatory requirement of 15 per cent capital adequacy, he said.
