Tekedia Capital analysis flagged strong Q1 earnings at India’s top private banks as loan demand accelerated, lifting profitability despite net interest margin pressure.
HDFC Bank net profit rose 5% to INR 190.6 billion; loans grew 15.4%; provisions fell 78% to INR 30.6 billion.
ICICI Bank net profit climbed nearly 16% to INR 148 billion; domestic loans rose 19.6%; net interest margin edged up to 4.36%.
Axis Bank net profit increased 22.5% to INR 71.14 billion; net interest margin slipped to 3.46%; provisions dropped 44% to INR 22.22 billion.
Outlook stayed constructive as improving asset quality lowered credit costs, partly offset by weaker treasury income from higher bond yields.
