IndusInd Bank's profit after tax (PAT) experienced a significant decline, falling 40% year-on-year and 39% quarter-on-quarter to around INR 13.3 billion. This figure missed estimates after adjusting for a contingent provision of INR 5.25 billion.
The bank's net interest income (NII) grew by 5% year-on-year to INR 53.5 billion, while other income saw a quarter-on-quarter decline of 10.5% to INR 21.85 billion. The net interest margin (NIM) contracted by 17 basis points to 4.08%. The loan book expanded by 13% year-on-year, driven by growth in corporate and commercial segments, and deposits increased by 15% year-on-year, primarily due to a rise in term deposits.
However, fresh slippages rose by 17% quarter-on-quarter to INR 17.9 billion, with the consumer finance sector being the main contributor. The gross non-performing asset (GNPA) and net non-performing asset (NNPA) ratios increased to 2.11% and 0.64%, respectively.
