According to Edelweiss experts\u2019 statement, \u201cWhile growth in retail and mid-corporate loans was strong, large corporate loans fell 10% quarterly as state banks sacrificed risk-based pricing to gain share. Axis is the only large bank where the slippage ratio fell quarter-on-quarter. Rs. 7 bn. trading loss is in-line. If Axis sustains the core performance of Q1 FY 2023, the stock\u2019s discount to peers will narrow.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, when the market didn\u2019t open well on Tuesday for Axis Bank, there was another news where the Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved Axis Bank\u2019s proposed buyout of Citi\u2019s consumer business in India.
