Mumbai: IDFC First Bank has announced a significant decline in its net profit for the July-September quarter. The bank reported a 73% year-on-year decrease, with net profit falling to Rs 200.7 crore. This sharp decline can be primarily attributed to a substantial increase in provisions for bad loans.
The bank has been proactively setting aside funds to cover potential loan losses, a prudent move in the current economic climate. However, this has inevitably impacted the bottom line. While the bank has been working to improve its asset quality and reduce its non-performing loan ratio, the challenging macroeconomic conditions have posed additional hurdles.
