With RBI ensuring adequate liquidity cushion in the financial system by adjusting policy rates to sustain growth, at the same time without risking external balance or inflation by excessively fuelling demand, the projected growth for 2012-2013 being higher than 2011-2012, performance of Banking sector is expected to improve.

COMMENTS :-

Overall, Dena Bank is in sound Health and on a Good Growth Trajectory. Its loan Portfolio is reasonably good and unlikely to slip into Bad Debts, though some restructuring in Power sector is always possible.

The Net NPAs can come down from present levels - with the kind of efforts the bank is making.

It is a GOOD BUY for medium / long term Investors.
