Its net interest income (NII) came at Rs 3.5 bn, up 43% YoY and net interest margins were at 2.8%. In a separate development, Yes Bank has revived its plans to foray into securities broking. Its subsidiary, Yes Direct, would offer internet broking services to its retail customers. It plans to start operations in the current financial year itself. The bank had set up the same plan few years back but withdrew its proposal due to lack of scale. The plans are reactivated now since the management feels it has achieved the right scale and mass.

Vedanta is seeking to buy a controlling stake in Cairn India for US$ 9.6 bn. Cairn India owns strategically important oilfields in Rajasthan. This deal was announced last year and has been delayed due to controversy on royalty issue. However, the company has obtained regulator's approval to launch its open offer. Vedanta may acquire up to 70.4% in Cairn India. The stock of Cairn India is trading in the green.
