Dr Ashok Haldia Managing Director & CEO of the company said that the overall performance of the company shows growth, however, it is constrained by the legacy of stressed assets moving towards resolution. Financial performance of Q2 September 2017, has been impacted by provisioning against an equity investment which the lenders are to refer to National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for resolution.

Sustained efforts in Q2, however, helped in keeping the stressed assets under check and are to reduce in the coming quarters.
