"Recovery will be around Rs 2,500 crores... Eight to 10 big cases. It's only NCLT big cases," BOI Executive Director CG Chaitanya told reporters when asked about the recoveries from the resolution of the cases.

Asked how many cases he saw getting resolved in the next two quarters and the recoveries he expected to come in, he said, "Big cases we are looking around eight to 10 cases which get resolved in the quarter two and quarter three. It should give a numbers of around, it should add to my profitability of around Rs 1,500 crore."

The recovery would be around Rs 2,500 crore from the eight to 10 big accounts, Chaitanya said.

For BOI, the NPAs have "tapered out" and the bank is on the growth path, he said.

"This is a first of its kind initiative being undertaken by the bank. Several topical themes such as digital payments, corporate governance in PSBs, credit for MSMEs, retail, agriculture, export credit, establishing financial grid and enabling bank credit towards a USD 5 Tn economy were discussed during the meet with a view to chart out specific roadmap for public sector banks," Chaitanya said.
