“During Q2FY26, the Bank consolidated its balance sheet by letting go wholesale deposits and being cautious on microfinance disbursements. Nevertheless, our core pre-provision operating profit at Rs. 1,940 crores remained stable QoQ. Our asset quality trends have been stable in all core businesses except in microfinance wherein industry is facing cyclical pressures. The Bank accelerated write-offs as well as increased provisions on microfinance as a prudent measure. While this has resulted in the Bank showing a loss in Q2, we believe this strengthens the balance sheet and fast-tracks normalisation of underlying profitability,” said Rajiv Anand, the MD and CEO of IndusInd Bank, while commenting on the bank’s Q2 results.
