Indian Banks Report Strong Q2 Growth in Advances and Deposits Supported by FCNR(B)
Indian banks reported strong business growth in the second quarter of FY27, with advances generally outpacing deposit growth. Bank of India saw a 21.6% rise in deposits and 20.4% in advances, while J K Bank's advances grew 23.7%. Deposit growth was supported by FCNR(B) mobilisations under the RBI's concessional swap window, which closed in August. Other banks like Punjab National Bank and Bank of Baroda also recorded healthy increases in deposits and advances, with credit-deposit ratios rising at several institutions.
