The Board of Directors of your Bank is pleased to present the Annual Report on business and operations of your Bank
together with the Audited Financial Statements for the Financial Year ended March 31, 2026.

ECONOMIC SCENARIO
Global

During the first half of FY 2025-26, global economy
although already plagued by prolonged conflicts in West
Asia and the Russia-Ukraine region, exhibited notable
resilience amid heightened trade tensions and policy
uncertainty. There was a surge in stockpiling of traded
goods and increased spending on Artificial Intelligence
(AI), signifying a strong risk appetite amidst rising trade
barriers. In February 2026, the world witnessed a high
level of escalation in the US-Iran conflict, which caused
severe trade and supply disruptions with the prolonged
shutdown of the prominent Strait of Hormuz, which is one
of the world's most vital arteries of energy related trade.
As a result, the global growth is experiencing strong
headwinds with a sharp rise in energy prices and
shortages of vital inputs such as crude oil, thereby
escalating the geopolitical risk premium in the oil markets
severely affecting maritime trade & commerce. Although
global commodity prices of metal and gold have
moderated, the financial markets have been experiencing
extreme volatility.

The Global Banking Industry recorded the strongest
Financial performance in over a decade in Calendar Year
['CY'] 2025. The Net Interest Margins of major banks
expanded across the advanced economies. The Return on
Equity, one of the major barometers of financial heath, for
large banks exceeded 12% in America and 10% in
Western Europe for the first time ever since the Global
Financial Crisis. With the Central banks across Western
Economies cutting rates, banks with stronger balance
sheet and provisioning buffers built during years of
higher rates, were better placed to manage losses without
adversely affecting the capital base. The International
Monetary Fund in its April 2026, World Economic
Outlook, projected global growth at 3.1% for CY 2026
revised downwards from the earlier forecasts, due to drag
in Trade policy, geo political conflicts and lingering effects
of the global monetary tightening cycle. The IMF further
predicts that the prolonged West Asia Conflict, would
keep energy prices elevated, decelerate growth in oil
importing economies, with little elbow room available for
Central banks to ease rates.

Indian

At the commencement of FY 2025-26, the Indian economy
was supported by momentum in private consumption and
capital formation. The above-normal south-west
monsoon resulted in a boost to rural consumption,
expansion in services sector and a revival in urban
consumption ably supported by an increase in private-
sector investment activity. During the reporting year,
India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) registered a six-
quarter high of 8.2% due to strong domestic demand
(Festive season period) even amidst global trade & policy
uncertainties. The Agriculture sector was supported by
healthy Kharif crop production, higher reservoir levels &
rabi crop production.

During the first half of the CY 2026, the domestic economic
activity remained largely steady, even amidst the
uncertainties experienced due to the prolonged West Asia
Conflict. Merchandise exports recorded strong growth in
April 2026, even though Freight & Insurance costs
remained high. This year the south-west monsoon is
expected to be deficient, particularly in parts of North and
North-western India, potentially impacting agricultural
activity and rural demand. However, the programmes and
initiatives for crop diversification, water harvesting and
conservation, climate-resilient practices, and short
duration crops are expected to mitigate the impact.
Services sector remained robust and sustained the
momentum of the previous year, with GST rationalization
and stable employment conditions supporting urban
consumption. Sustained credit flows from banking & non¬
banking channels, Government CapEx programs, opening
of the insurance sector to 100% FDI, ethanol blending
program for energy transition etc., are expected to give a
boost to investment activity in the near term. The headline
CPI inflation stood at 3.5% in April 2026, driven primarily
by elevated food & fuel prices. Since May 2026, the retail
crude prices have gone up cumulatively by 7.4%, for
petrol and 8.4% for diesel.

The impact of higher global energy prices is also being felt
in other inputs such as Commercial LPG, Industrial raw
materials, chemicals, rubber & plastic products.
Considering all the factors, the overall CPI inflation for FY
2026-27 is projected to be 5.1%, with Q1 at 4.2%, Q2 at
5.1%, Q3 at 5.9% & Q4 at 5.4%.

Several measures undertaken by the Government,
including ECLGS 5.0 ( Emergency Credit Line Guarantee
Scheme) aimed at supporting the MSME & export sector,
sustained efforts to increase domestic gas and crude oil
supplies, and the promotion of domestically produced
goods over imports, have strengthened the domestic
economy's resilience to external shocks. On the external
financing front, buoyant Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
and higher net FDI in 2025-26 reflect the sustained
interests of global investors in India. However, during
FY 2026-27, net FPI into India witnessed an outflow of
USD 13.7 billion primarily from the equity segment.
As on May 29, 2026 India's foreign exchange reserves
stood at a healthy USD 682.3 billion.

Looking ahead, elevated energy and other commodity
prices along with supply disruptions are likely to impact
economic activity. Considering these factors, real GDP
growth for FY 2026-27 is projected at 6.6% quarterly
growth, with 6.6% in Q1, 6.3% in Q2, 6.5% in Q3 and 6.8%
in Q4.

OUTLOOK

Considering the higher commodity and energy prices and
shortage of inputs due to the issues in the Strait of
Hormuz, the Central Government has been proactive in
ensuring an adequate supply of inputs across critical
sectors. On the services side, there has been a sustained
momentum in the economic activity, due to GST
Rationalization, healthy Balance Sheets of Financial
Institutions and Corporates. Agricultural sector's
prospects are supported by healthy reservoir levels, while
Business expectations remain optimistic owing to the
Government's focus on scaling up domestic
manufacturing, across several strategic and frontline
sectors supported by strong credit growth. Revival in
private sector investment, is also expected to augur well
for India's growth prospects. On the external front,
merchandise exports in FY 2026-27 are likely to be
adversely affected by disruptions to key shipping routes,
escalation in freight & insurance costs and lower demand
due to the prolonged West Asia conflict. Considering all
these factors, real GDP growth for FY 2026-27 is projected
at 6.6%, with Q1 at 6.6%, Q2 at 6.3%, Q3 at 6.5% and Q4 at
6.8% with the risks evenly balanced.

India, today stands at a juncture of relatively better
macro-economic performance, despite geopolitical
uncertainties, and volatile commodity market conditions.
Domestic economic activity has exhibited resilience,
supported by strong performance in industrial and
services activity, broad-based demand and robust
corporate performance. Inflation and external
vulnerabilities are within the manageable limits. The
Indian Financial system is entering this phase of global
uncertainty with much stronger and healthier Balance
Sheets, comfortable capital buffers, improved
profitability and Non- Performing Assets (NPA's) at multi¬
decade lows.

crore. The provision for NPA for the financial year was
'254 crore vis-a-vis '255 crore last year. The total

TREASURY OPERATIONS

Domestic Treasury

The gross investments rose from '17,346 crore to
'19,019 crore as of 31^st March 2026. Out of this, total
investments in Government Bonds alone were '18,873
crore, making up 99.23% of total Investments. The
financial year started positively with a 25-basis point cut
in repo rate, driven by inflation (CPI) falling to a six-year
low of 3.2% and Brent Crude oil prices dropped from $72
to $62 per barrel due to increase in supply. The JP Morgan
Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) has
reached 10% weightage by regular inflow of FPI of $20 -
$25 billion in April 2025. US treasury yields were volatile
ranging 4% to 4.50% influenced by US trade policy
announcements and geopolitical tensions. The US Fed
reduced its policy rate cumulatively by 75 bps during the
year. The Reserve Bank of India announced CRR cut by 100
bps and REPO rate cut by 125 bps during the year. RBI also
injected durable liquidity of '16.30 trillion into the
banking system through multiple rounds of Open Market
Operations (OMOs), buy / sell swaps in forex markets and
VRR to manage tightening cash conditions. In FY 2026,
benchmark bond yields touched a low of 6.10% and
reversed swiftly during the course of the year and closed
at 7.03% on account of US trade tariff and West- Asia
geopolitical tension. The Bank booked a profit of '96.84
crore during the year.

ForexTreasury

During the FY 2025-26, the Indian Rupee depreciated by
roughly 11% against US dollar, hitting its weakest level in
over a decade, closing near '94.83. The Rupee crossed the
'95 per USD mark for the first time in late March 2026. The
main reasons behind the Rupee's decline include persistent
Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI) outflows, elevated crude
oil prices amid West Asia geopolitical tensions. Currently,
the RBI has adopted a more 'pragmatic and flexible’ stance,
letting the Rupee find its market level instead of defending
specific thresholds- a shift from its earlier policy. India's
real GDP growth for FY 2026 projected at 7.6%, driven
mainly by strong domestic consumption and investment.
Indian forex reserves rose slightly to $688.06 billion as of
March 31, 2026. The Japanese Yen experienced sharp
volatility on carry trade unwinding when Bank of Japan-
Central Bank raised its interest rate. As the Yen
strengthened, it erased the carry-trade gains, forcing
position to be unwound quickly. During the First & Second
quarters, the US 10-Year Treasury yield surged to its
highest level of 4.48% and crude oil prices went up to $120
per bbl due to the uncertainty over the import tariff
imposed by US President, Donald Trump. In FY2025-26,
profit on foreign exchange operations was '60.82 crore
compared with '37.71 crore in the previous financial year.
