Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) may report a 14.6 percent growth (year-on-year) in profit at Rs 1,366 crore for the quarter ended March 2015, according to a CNBC-TV18 poll.

Net interest income is seen rising 19 percent to Rs 2,110 crore during January-March quarter compared to Rs 1,773 crore in the same quarter last year.

Analysts expect margin improvement of 5 basis points Y-o-Y on the back of easing wholesale rates. According to them, provisions could pull down profit.

Loan growth is expected to remain steady at 15-16 percent while asset quality may be largely healthy barring few accounts.
