- Net profit grew 44.9% YoY to ₹755.7 crore, driven by higher income and lower provisions.
- Total income rose to ₹3,491.21 crore; operating profit before provisions hit ₹1,095.6 crore.
- Gross NPA inched up to 0.74% from 0.66% a year earlier; net NPA steady at 0.19%.
Why this matters
The 45% profit growth extends a strong run — the bank had already posted 41% trailing PAT growth. The slight uptick in gross NPA to 0.74% from 0.66% is manageable given net NPA at 0.19%. With a capital ratio of 18.61%, the bank has ample room to lend. What matters next is management's margin guidance in the post-results call.
What we're watching
- Management commentary on net interest margin trajectory in the post-results call.
- Whether the gross NPA uptick is seasonal or a trend reversal.
- Loan and deposit growth guidance for the rest of FY27.
