Indian Banks Report 20% Earnings Growth in Q2 Supported by Interest Income and Lower Provisions
Indian banks reported a 20% year-on-year earnings growth in Q2 FY27, driven by a 15% rise in net interest income and a 25% decline in provisions, according to Kotak Institutional Equities. Private banks led with around 25% earnings growth compared to nearly 20% for public sector banks. The report expects stable asset quality and low credit costs, with benefits from a rising interest rate cycle and a favorable loan mix, despite potential moderation in loan growth.
