IndusInd Bank, a leading financial institution, has reported a substantial increase in its consolidated net profit for the September quarter of 2023-24. The bank’s net profit has witnessed a remarkable growth of 22% at Rs 2,202 crore, compared to Rs 1,805 crore in the same period last year. This surge in profits can be attributed to a decline in bad loans and a rise in interest income.
According to a regulatory filing, IndusInd Bank’s total income for the quarter under review reached Rs 13,530 crore, as opposed to Rs 10,719 crore during the corresponding period in the previous year. This signifies a substantial growth in income for the bank.
The bank’s interest income also experienced a significant rise, reaching Rs 11,248 crore for the quarter compared to Rs 8,708 crore in the same period a year ago. This boost in interest income has contributed to the bank’s overall profitability.
In terms of asset quality, IndusInd Bank has showcased an improvement as its gross non-performing assets (NPAs), commonly known as bad loans, decreased to 1.93% of gross advances by September 2023, compared to 2.11% in the same period the previous year. Similarly, the bank’s net NPAs also declined from 0.61% to 0.57% during this time.
This improvement in asset quality has had a positive impact on the bank’s provisions for contingencies, which decreased to Rs 974 crore in the September quarter, in contrast to Rs 1,141 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. This decrease in provisions showcases the bank’s strengthened financial position.
Furthermore, IndusInd Bank’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, a measure of its financial health, improved to 18.21% at the end of September 2023, compared to 18.01% a year ago. This signifies the bank’s robust capital position and its ability to comfortably meet regulatory requirements.
With such impressive financial performance, IndusInd Bank has emerged as a frontrunner in the banking sector. Its consistent focus on improving asset quality and profitability has paved the way for its sustained growth and success.
