NII grew by 22% y-o-y to Rs 580 crore in Q4 driven by strong loan growth and sequential improvement in spreads.

IDFC is trading higher by 5% at Rs 121, extending its previous day’s 1.5% gain, after reporting a 16% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth in net profit at Rs 332 crore for the quarter ended March 2012, on back of strong growth in operational income. Total income from operations grew 32% at Rs 1,715 crore on y-o-y basis.

However, net interest income (NII) for the quarter grew by 22% y-o-y to Rs 580 crore driven by strong loan growth and sequential improvement in spreads.
