State Bank of India , the country's largest lender, has enough liquidity to fund loan demand, Chairman Pratip Chaudhuri said on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, it beat estimates with a 12.4 percent rise in quarterly net profit but higher non-performing assets disappointed investors and its stock fell 5 percent after the results.
India's central bank, which expects credit to grow by 18 percent in the full fiscal year, raised interest rates last month for the 13th time in a tightening cycle that began in early 2010 to fight persistently high inflation.
