1:50 pm Management Speak: KBS Anand, MD & CEO, Asian Paints said the low double-digit volume growth is likely to be sustainable if the economy grows in a similar manner.

On the margin front, he said they would likely improve due to the two price hikes, which were to the tune of 5.7 percent, but it would also depend on how the rupee plays out and the raw material prices trend.

Talking about the home improvement business that saw a 19 percent growth in Q4, he said they are hopeful of revenue growth for the current fiscal too but it is a very small nascent business. It also correlates to the construction sector and so the extent of growth depends on the growth in the construction business, he said in an interview to CNBC-TV18.

1:32 pm Earnings: Dr Reddy's Laboratories said profit for March quarter rose 175.4 percent to Rs 337.6 crore compared with Rs 122.6 crore in same quarter last year.

The low base in year-ago quarter supported bottomline. Profit in Q4FY16 had impacted due to writedowns of Rs 400 crore on account of Venezuela.

Revenue during the quarter fell 4.8 percent to Rs 3,611.9 crore compared with Rs 3,795 crore in corresponding quarter of last fiscal, dragged by US sales that contributed more than 50 percent to global generics business.

The net NPAs, according to the annual report of the bank, were at Rs 3318.7 crore.

Explaining the RBI's assessment, Rana Kapoor, Yes Bank’s MD and CEO mentioned that the gross NPAs increased largely due to one single cement borrower (Jaiprakash Associates), the exposure to which stood at Rs 911 crore (88 percent of gross NPAs).”

Yes Bank’s gross NPAs as on March 2016 stood at Rs 750 crore while gross NPAs assessed by RBI were at Rs 4925.7 crore. Net NPAs for the bank were at Rs 284.5 crore, while RBI’s assessment for net NPAs stood at Rs 3603.1 crore.

US business may continue declining on the back of pricing pressure, lack of high ticket launches, reaudit of facilities with warning letter February onwards, impact of cancellation of contract supply by McNeil Health in Q1FY17 and rupee appreciation (but mitigated by emerging market currencies strengthening).
