Indian Banks Report Mixed Q2 FY27 Profits Amid Loan Growth and Asset Quality Improvements
Several Indian banks reported their Q2 FY27 financial results, showing mixed profit trends amid strong loan growth and improving asset quality.

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.
