Federal Bank Reports Record Q2 Profit with Improved Asset Quality and Growth
Federal Bank reported a record net profit of Rs 1,386 crore for Q2 FY27, a 45% year-on-year increase driven by a 26% rise in net interest income and strong fee income growth. Asset quality improved with gross NPA at a decade low of 1.32% and net NPA at 0.17%. Advances grew 22% to nearly Rs 3 lakh crore, and deposits rose 19% to over Rs 3.4 lakh crore. The bank mobilized $1.5 billion through the RBI's FCNR(B) scheme and is exploring inorganic growth opportunities, while cautiously monitoring agricultural lending amid El Niño concerns.
