India’s IndusInd Bank reported a sharp 68% decline in net profit for Q1 FY2025, impacted by a contraction in loan growth and a spike in provisioning.
India’s IndusInd Bank reported a 68% year-on-year decline in net profit for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, with profits standing at ₹684.25 crore compared to ₹2,152.16 crore in the corresponding period last year. This sharp decline was largely driven by a slowdown in lending, reduced deposit mobilization, and a significant rise in provisioning.
The loan book contracted by 3.1% on a quarterly basis to ₹3,33,694 crore, while total deposits fell by 3% to ₹3,97,144 crore. These declines in core banking operations impacted the bank’s income generation capacity. As a result, Net Interest Income (NII) dropped 14% year-on-year to ₹4,640 crore, and the Net Interest Margin (NIM) fell by 79 basis points to 3.46%. The contraction in margins suggests challenges in managing the cost of funds and maintaining yield, especially in a competitive lending environment.

Adding further pressure, provisions and contingencies jumped 65% year-on-year to ₹1,737.78 crore in Q1 FY2025. This rise in provisioning appears to be a response to deteriorating asset quality. Net non-performing assets (Net NPA) increased to 1.12%, up 52 basis points from the year-ago period, reflecting early signs of stress in the bank’s loan portfolio.
