Despite a narrowing net interest margin to 4.18%, the bank's loans grew by 30% year-over-year, and total deposits increased 27.1% year-over-year. The bank's shares closed at $29.99, up 1.87% from the previous close of $29.44. Management expects margins to weaken further in Q3 before recovering in Q4, citing the impact of FCNR deposits and seasonal agricultural provisioning.",
