Kotak Mahindra Bank’s Q2 Profit Rises 29% to ₹4,212 Crore

Kotak Mahindra Bank reported strong financial performance in the second quarter of FY27. According to its results announced on October 24, 2026, the bank’s standalone net profit increased 29.5% year-on-year to ₹4,212 crore, compared with ₹3,253 crore in the same quarter last year.

The bank’s Net Interest Income (NII), which represents the difference between interest earned on loans and interest paid on deposits, rose 15.7% to ₹8,459 crore. The growth was supported by loan demand and an improvement in banking income.

The bank also reported an improvement in asset quality. Its Gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPA) ratio declined to 1.04% in the September quarter, compared with 1.39% a year earlier. This indicates a lower proportion of bad loans relative to its total advances.

However, the bank’s Net Interest Margin (NIM) declined to 4.31% from 4.53% in the previous quarter. According to the bank, an increase in foreign currency deposits was one of the factors putting pressure on margins.

On a consolidated basis, the bank’s net profit increased 26% to ₹5,645 crore. Overall, higher profits, loan growth and improved asset quality were positive developments, although declining margins remain an important factor to watch in the coming quarters.
