Indian Banks Report Mixed Q2 FY27 Profits Amid Loan Growth and Asset Quality Improvements

Analysed 17 Oct 2026·8 sources analysed·Mumbai, India·Business
Indian Banks Report Mixed Q2 FY27 Profits Amid Loan Growth and Asset Quality ImprovementsPreviousNext

Several Indian banks reported their Q2 FY27 financial results, showing mixed profit trends amid strong loan growth and improving asset quality. Central Bank of India posted a 21% net profit rise to Rs 1,469 crore, supported by higher net interest income despite a decline in non-interest income. IDBI Bank's net profit fell 39% year-on-year due to a one-off gain in the previous year but showed growth excluding that. Canara Bank reported an 8% profit increase driven by core income growth despite subdued treasury earnings. Asset quality improved across banks with stable or rising capital ratios.
