Absolute GNPA declined to | 6007 crore vs. | 6232 crore in Q3FY18. This decline along with credit growth at 14.2% YoY led to 12 bps QoQ increase in GNPA ratio at 9.96%. Slippages at | 1747 crore were highest due to four large corporates, RBI divergence of | 570 crore. Net NPA ratio increased 61 bps QoQ to 4.9% (| 2791 crore).

Outlook
Focus on high rated corporate and improvement in tourism activity is seen to revive credit growth. Though state government support in lieu of rehabilitated exposure provides comfort, we remain a bit cautious. We revise our target price lower at | 75 (earlier | 90) valuing the stock at 1.1x FY20E ABV. We maintain BUY.
