At a press conference here, HDFC vice chairman and chief executive Keki Mistry said the net interest margin of the lending major was recorded at 4.3 percent during the quarter.
Keki said he expected the Reserve Bank of India to increase interest rates again by 25 basis points during the next review of the monetary policy.
He, however, added that the continuous rate tightening by the central bank had not had any impact on the asset quality of the lender.
