HDFC Bank, India's largest private lender by market value, announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024-25 (Q2FY25) on Saturday. The bank reported a 5.3 percent rise in net profit to ₹16,821 crore as against ₹15,976 crore in the same period last year.
While HDFC Bank's net profit and total income showed healthy growth, the bank's asset quality deteriorated slightly. Gross and net NPAs both increased compared to the previous year. This is seen as a concern, as it indicates a rise in bad loans.
