Kotak Mahindra Bank's Q2 net profit jumps 26% to Rs 5,645 crore

Kotak Mahindra Bank reported a 26 percent jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 5,645 crore in the quarter ending September 30, compared to Rs 4,468 crore in the year-ago period, the lender said in a statement on October 24. The company had reported a net profit of Rs 5,480 crore in the June quarter of the current financial year. The private lender also reported a total income of Rs 29,426.88 crore in the reported quarter. Net Interest Margin (NIM) for Q2 FY27 stood at 4.31 percent, as compared to 4.54 percent in Q2FY26 and 4.53 percent in Q1 FY27. The moderation in NIM was largely due to the flush in liquidity caused by the FCNR-B deposits, the bank said. During the quarter, the bank mobilised foreign currency non-resident bank (FCNR-B) deposits aggregating to Rs 55,344 crore. The lender's CASA ratio as at the end of the second quarter stood at 38.2 percent, declining from 42.5 percent in the previous corresponding quarter, largely due to increase in the term deposit base from the FCNR-B deposit inflows. Net advances increased 25 percent on a year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 5.77 lakh crore as at September 30, 2026, rising from Rs 4.62 lakh crore as at September 30, 2025. On the other hand, average total deposits grew to Rs 6.06 lakh crore for Q2 FY27, up 19% YoY from Rs 5.10 lakh crore for Q2 FY26.

The net non-performing asset ratio (NNPA) stood at 0.24 percent, versus 0.32 percent in Q2 FY26.
