profit for the three months to March 31 plunged to Rs 1,020 crore from Rs 2,025 crore a year
earlier.

performing assets problem, which has been troubling the private lender for the last three
fiscal years. ICICI Bank's gross non-performing loans (NPAs) as a percentage of its total
assets stood at 8.84 per cent as of March 31, 2018, up from 7.82 per cent at the end of
