From 7.1% to 15.3%: HDFC Bank’s Loan Growth Comeback Is Hard to Ignore

From 7.1% to 15.3%: HDFC Bank’s Loan Growth Comeback Is Hard to Ignore

HDFC Bank has reported a sharp improvement in loan growth during the September 2026 quarter, signalling stronger credit momentum at India’s largest private-sector lender.

According to the bank’s provisional Q2 FY27 data, period-end advances under management grew 15.3% year-on-year to around ₹33.07 lakh crore. This marks a significant acceleration compared with 10% growth in September 2025 and just 7.1% in September 2024. Gross advances were even stronger, rising 16.3% YoY to around ₹32.20 lakh crore.

Deposit mobilisation also remained strong. Total period-end deposits increased 18.8% YoY to approximately ₹33.27 lakh crore. Time deposits grew 22.8%, while CASA deposits increased 10.8%.

One factor supporting the quarter was HDFC Bank’s mobilisation of around $11.5 billion through FCNR(B) deposits under the RBI’s special swap facility. Its overseas branches extended about $5.7 billion in loans against these deposits.

HDFC Bank’s Q2 update shows a clear recovery in credit growth after the slower post-merger period. The jump from 7.1% loan growth two years ago to 15.3% now is encouraging, but the high credit-to-deposit ratio means investors will also be watching deposit quality, margins and the sustainability of this growth closely.
