IndusInd Bank reported a net loss of 436.8 crores in the second quarter of the financial year 2025-26. Last year, the bank posted a net profit of Rs 1,331 crore in Q2 FY25. Rajiv Anand, the MD and CEO of IndusInd Bank, said in a statement that the loss in the quarter is a result of accelerated write-offs as well as increased provisions on microfinance as a prudent measure.
IndusInd Bank reported a 17.5 per cent YoY Net Interest Income decline in the quarter. The bank’s NII in Q2 FY26 came down to Rs 4,409 crore from Rs 5,347 crore in Q2 FY25.
Furthermore, IndusInd Bank’s margins also squeezed in the quarter. The private sector bank’s margin in Q2 FY26 stood at 3.32 per cent, compared to 4.08 per cent in the same quarter of last fiscal year.
The bank found itself in the midst of a crisis earlier this year as governance and accounting lapses surfaced, leading to the exit of its former CEO, Sumant Kathpalia and deputy Arun Khurana.
The bank’s asset quality remained largely stable despite the challenging environment. Gross non-performing assets (GNPA) ratio stood at 3.60 percent as of September 30, 2025, compared with 3.64 percent at the end of June 2025, while net NPA (NNPA) improved to 1.04 percent from 1.12 percent. Provision coverage ratio (PCR) rose to 71.81 percent from 70.13 percent in the previous quarter.
Total loan-related provisions stood at Rs 10,443 crore, representing 3.2 percent of the loan book.
Total deposits fell to Rs 3.90 lakh crore from Rs 4.12 lakh crore a year earlier, while advances declined to Rs 3.26 lakh crore from Rs 3.57 lakh crore. The share of low-cost current and savings account (CASA) deposits stood at 31 percent, with current account deposits at Rs 31,916 crore and savings deposits at Rs 87,854 crore.
The balance sheet size contracted to Rs 5.27 lakh crore from Rs 5.43 lakh crore a year ago.
Fee and other income fell 24.4 percent to Rs 1,651 crore from Rs 2,185 crore in the year-ago quarter. The pre-provision operating profit (PPOP) dropped 43 percent to Rs 2,047 crore from Rs 3,600 crore.
As of September 30, 2025, IndusInd Bank had 3,116 branches and banking outlets, along with 3,054 ATMs across India, serving approximately 42 million customers.
