AI summary

Q2 FY2025-26 standalone net profit rose 32.9% year on year to ₹1,212.88 crore; total income rose 4.1%. Half-year profit was ₹2,381.57 crore. Gross NPAs fell to 3.01% from 4.59%. The board declared a 2% interim dividend of ₹0.20 per share. Auditors gave unmodified conclusions but highlighted deferred tax and a depreciation change that reduced half-year profit by ₹26.37 crore; consolidated results include an ₹84.85 crore exceptional gain.

Likely market impact

Profit growth, lower gross bad-loan ratio and the dividend may support the stock, but the depreciation change and exceptional gain call for caution.
