SBI Q2 FY27 Profit Rises 14.3% on Higher NII and Lower Provisions
State Bank of India (SBI) reported a 14.3% year-on-year rise in standalone net profit to Rs 23,038 crore for Q2 FY27, driven by a 14.7% increase in net interest income (NII) to Rs 49,143 crore and lower provisions. The bank's asset quality improved, with gross non-performing assets (GNPA) ratio declining to 1.39% and net NPA to 0.36%. Profitability was also supported by gains from stake sales, while other income declined during the quarter. Total advances and deposits grew notably, reflecting robust loan demand and deposit mobilization.
