IndusInd Bank on Wednesday reported a 22 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth in net profit at Rs 2,202 crore for the September quarter, compared to Rs 1,805.28 crore in the corresponding quarter of the last year, mainly on the back of a rise in net interest income (NII) and fall in provisions.
NII grew 18 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 5,077 crore while other income was up 13.5 per cent at Rs 2,281.9 crore.
Provisions for the September quarter stood at Rs 973.8 crore, falling 14.7 per cent from a year ago. Net interest margin (NIM) for the quarter was 4.29 per cent against 4.24 per cent. It was 4.29 per cent for the previous quarter.
“We have always said that our NIMs will be in a range of 4.2-4.3 per cent. We don't see the need to raise capital unless and until we have something in mind or our growth goes beyond 25 because our internal uphold are enough to take care of the growth,” Sumant Kathpalia, managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO), IndusInd Bank said.
