Karur Vysya Bank Posts 45% Jump in Q1 Profit to ₹756 Crore

The results reflect stronger core earnings from higher interest income and loan growth with solid capital and provisions.

Overview

  • The bank announced unaudited Q1 FY27 results on Monday showing standalone net profit of about ₹755.7–₹756 crore, a roughly 45% year‑on‑year rise from the prior year.
  • Core operating performance improved sharply with pre‑provision operating profit of about ₹1,096 crore and net interest income of roughly ₹1,423 crore, and net interest margin widened to 4.34%.
  • The balance sheet expanded about 15% year‑on‑year as total advances crossed ₹1.05 lakh crore for the first time and total business reached about ₹2.27 lakh crore driven by deposit and loan growth.
  • Asset quality and buffers remained strong with GNPA at 0.74%, NNPA at 0.19%, a provision coverage ratio near 96%, and a Basel III capital adequacy ratio of 18.61%, well above regulatory minimums.
