In India’s economy, banks hold a pivotal position as the wheels that drive economic growth and financial stability. With a history dating back centuries and a modern landscape characterized by technological innovation and diversification, Indian banks play a critical role in shaping the nation’s financial infrastructure.

In this article, we will be comparing the GNPA and NPA of PSU banks YoY. Additionally, we have provided the NPA and GNPA reported by the banks for the June quarter.

GNPA (Gross Non-Performing Assets) and NPA (Non-Performing Assets) are key measures in banking to assess loan portfolio quality and risk.

High NPAs and GNPA levels indicate credit risk, impacting bank stability, profits, and capital adequacy. These metrics help evaluate loan book health, risk exposure, and credit risk management effectiveness.

On the other hand, lower NPAs and GNPA are crucial for the financial health of Banks. Monitoring and reducing NPAs are vital for sustaining a bank’s growth and reputation.

Price-to-Book Value is a financial metric used to assess the relative valuation of a company, particularly in the context of its assets.

It compares a company’s market price per share to its book value per share, which is the value of its assets minus liabilities divided by the number of outstanding shares.
