IDBI Bank on Saturday reported a 5 per cent rise in net profit at Rs 2,115 crore for the first quarter of the current financial year. The LIC-controlled bank had earned a net profit of Rs 2,007 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. Total income rose to Rs 8,573 crore during the June quarter of 2026-27, from Rs 8,458 crore a year ago, IDBI Bank said in a regulatory filing. Interest earned by the bank improved to Rs 7,541 crore, as compared to Rs 7,021 crore in the June quarter of FY26. Net Interest Income (NII) also increased to Rs 3,486 crore in the quarter, against Rs 3,166 crore in Q1 of the previous year, an increase of 10 per cent. However, the bank's operating profit declined to Rs 2,168 crore, from Rs 2,354 crore a year ago. Net Interest Margin too moderated a bit to 3.61 per cent, against 3.68 per cent in the April-June period a year ago. The bank's asset quality improved as gross non-performing assets (NPAs) declined to 2.3 per cent of gross advances at
The government has received revised financial bids for the strategic sale of IDBI Bank from Fairfax Financial Holdings and Emirates NBD, sources said on Tuesday. A final decision on the successful bidder will be taken once the financial bids are opened, which is likely very soon, sources added. According to sources, both the bidders have experience in the Indian banking sector, with Dubai-based Emirates NDB acquiring RBL Bank earlier this year and billionaire investor Prem Watsa-backed Fairfax Financial already holding a 40 per cent stake in the private-sector CSB Bank. Both the bidders already have security clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and 'Fit and Proper' assessment from the RBI. The government and LIC were together looking to sell 60.72 per cent in IDBI Bank and had floated an Expression of Interest (EoI) in October 2022. Financial bids came on February 6. However, the financial bids from Fairfax Financial Holdings and Emirates NBD were below the reserve pr
IDBI Bank on Thursday reported a 5 per cent decline in net profit to Rs 1,943 crore for the March quarter of FY 2025-26. The LIC-controlled bank had posted a net profit of Rs 2,051 crore in the year-ago period. Its net profit was impacted by a fall in operating profit to Rs 3,043 crore from Rs 3,195 crore a year ago. However, its total income rose to Rs 9,409 crore in the period under review from Rs 9,035 crore in January-March of the preceding fiscal. At the same time, interest income increased to Rs 7,798 crore during the period under review from Rs 6,979 crore in the corresponding quarter a year ago. The net interest income (NII) in the quarter also improved to Rs 3,851 crore compared to Rs 3,290 crore in Q4 FY25. On the asset quality side, the bank's gross non-performing assets (NPAs) improved to 2.32 per cent of gross advances as of March 31, 2026, from 2.98 per cent reported at the end of March 2025. Net NPAs remained flat at 0.15 per cent of the advances at the end of Mar
The government may consider selling a stake in IDBI Bank through the Offer-for-Sale (OFS) route to increase public shareholding, after the unsuccessful attempt to divest stake in the LIC-controlled lender, sources said. Currently, the public float in IDBI Bank is only 5.29 per cent, limiting the scope of fair valuation. The remaining shares are with insurance behemoth Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), with a controlling stake at 49.24 per cent, while the Government of India (GoI) holding stood at 45.48 per cent. Earlier this month, the proposed sale of a 60.72 per cent majority stake, held jointly by the government and the LIC, was scrapped after financial bids from two potential buyers reportedly fell short of the reserve price. Low free float restricts the scope for fair market valuation, and expanding this by 10 per cent or 15 per cent would make price discovery more reliable, sources said. It can provide a reliable benchmark for valuation and further make the price ..
