RBL Bank Q2 Profit Surges 170% on Strong Loan Growth and FCNR(B) Deposits
RBL Bank reported a 170% year-on-year rise in net profit to Rs 482 crore for Q2 FY27, driven by a 37% increase in net interest income to Rs 2,131 crore and improved asset quality. Advances grew 42%, supported by Rs 3.4 billion mobilised through the RBI's FCNR(B) scheme, which also aided deposit growth of 34%. The bank's net interest margin expanded to 4.61%, though management expects margins to moderate as FCNR(B) deposits fully impact the balance sheet. Despite strong results, shares fell up to 8% amid concerns over elevated provisions and margin pressures.
