IndusInd Bank Reports 72% YoY Net Profit Growth in Q1

Private lender IndusInd Bank on Wednesday reported 72% year-on-year (YoY) growth in its consolidated net profit at Rs 1,037 crore in the first quarter. The same stood at Rs 604 crore in the last year quarter. Net Interest Income (NII) in Q1 was flat at Rs 4,685 crore as compared to Rs 4,640 crore in the same quarter of last year.

Pre-provision operating profit stood at Rs 2,773 crore, against Rs 2,567 crore in the previous year quarter. Net interest margin improved to 3.57% from 3.46% in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Fee and other income fell to Rs 1,787 crore from Rs 2,157 crore a year earlier. As a result, net revenue declined to Rs 6,471 crore from Rs 6,797 crore in Q1FY26.

Operating expenses were lower at Rs 3,698 crore, compared with Rs 4,229 crore in the year-ago quarter. This helped the bank report growth in operating profit despite the drop in fee and other income.

Provisions and contingencies, excluding tax, fell to Rs 1,384 crore from Rs 1,760 crore a year earlier. This supported the rise in bottom-line profit.

The bank said yield on assets stood at 8.62% for the quarter, compared with 9.15% in the same quarter last year. Cost of funds declined to 5.05% from 5.69% a year earlier.
