what happened
Kotak Mahindra Bank reported consolidated profit after tax up 26% year on year, reaching INR 5,645 crore. Profit at the bank alone climbed 29%, while core advances, excluding FCNR-linked loans and the KMIL transfer, grew 19%.
Management plans to deploy the liquidity raised through FCNR deposits into customer lending. Asset quality improved, but mark-to-market swings at subsidiaries weighed on the reported result.
why it matters
Strong profit growth and better asset quality support the bank's shares. Near-term pressure on net interest margins and subsidiary valuation volatility remain risks for investors to watch.
