Kotak Mahindra Bank reported a 26% year-on-year (YoY) increase in net profit to ₹5,645.38 crore for the quarter ended September, beating analysts' estimates based on LSEG data but falling short of domestic brokerages' projections of 27-32% growth.

Net interest income (NII) grew 16% YoY to ₹8,459 crore. Net interest margin (NIM), however, contracted to 4.31% from 4.54% in the preceding quarter. The bank attributed the decline to deposits mobilised under the Reserve Bank of India's special window for foreign currency non-resident bank (FCNR-B) accounts, through which it raised ₹55,344 crore.

Asset quality improved, with gross non-performing assets (GNPA) declining to 1.04% from 1.39% a year earlier. Net NPA fell to 0.24% from 0.32%. Provisions declined 15% YoY to ₹803 crore.
