In Q2FY23, the bank's credit portfolio increased by 15% yoy to 7,996 crore. While gross advances stood at 61,846 crore by end of the September 2022 quarter --- up from 53,850 crore in the same quarter last year.

The hike in MCLR comes a day ahead of RBI's monetary policy outcomes where expectations of between 25 basis points to 35 basis points is on cards instead of a 50 basis points hike. Majority of banks have been increasing their benchmark lending rates since May this year in line with RBI's rate hikes.
