DCB Bank Ltd.'s net interest margin declined further during Q3 FY24 led by re-pricing of deposits along with decline in yields. However, management maintained NIMs to be in the range of 3.65% - 3.75%. Asset quality deteriorated slightly with gross non-performing assets at 3.43% versus 3.36% QoQ led by higher slippage ratio.
