Tripura Minister Commends TSCBL's 66% Credit Deposit Ratio in FY26
Tripura Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy praised the Tripura State Cooperative Bank Ltd (TSCBL) for achieving a 66% credit deposit ratio (CDR) in the 2025-26 fiscal year, the highest among northeastern state lenders. This exceeds the state's overall 49% CDR but remains below the national average of 83%. The minister attributed this to efforts supporting small and micro enterprises. TSCBL's net profit rose from ₹36 crore to ₹70 crore, with plans to open six new branches by September, totaling 73 across Tripura.
