Indian Overseas Bank Q4 Net Profit Rises Over 43% on Interest Income and Asset Quality Gains

Indian Overseas Bank reported a 43-46 percent year-on-year rise in Q4 FY26 net profit, reaching around Rs 1,505-1,556 crore, driven by growth in net interest income and improved asset quality. Total advances grew over 24 percent, while CASA deposits increased nearly 11 percent. The bank's net interest margin declined slightly due to RBI's repo rate cuts. Provisions and tax expenses fell, supporting profit growth despite treasury losses. The bank targets 12-14 percent loan growth for FY27 amid cautious outlook on West Asia-related credit risks.
