Notes:

94% of the YoY growth
in loans and advances of the Bank is constituted by growth in Mortgage Loans,
Vehicle loans, Consumer loans, Business Banking, MSME loans and Wholesale
loans.
Microfinance portfolio
reduced by 41.6% YoY as of September 30, 2025. MFI book at 2.7% of funded
assets against 5.6% as of September 30, 2024.
Credit card issued by
the Bank reached 4.0 million during Q2 FY 26.
Private Wealth
Management AUM grew 28% YoY and stood at Rs. 54,693 crore.
Asset quality
indicators of the Bank, including Gross NPA, Net NPA, SMA, and Provisions
of the book continue to remain stable. MFI business asset quality has
further improved.
Provisions for the
Quarter reduced 12.5% QoQ from Rs. 1,659 crore to Rs. 1,452 crore,
primarily on account of lower provisions in the microfinance book.
The Bank has utilized
micro-finance provision buffer of Rs. 75 crore during Q2 FY26 on account
of reduced stress in MFI, and continues to carry the balance of Rs. 240
crore as contingent provisions.
Post conversion of
capital raised through CCPS of Rs. 7,500 crores into equity, the Capital
adequacy ratio and TIER-I ratio would be 16.82% and 14.75%, as computed on
the financials as of September 30, 2025.

Commenting on the results, Mr. V Vaidyanathan, MD and CEO said “The
stress in the MFI business was an MFI industry issue and looks like it is
behind us. Other than MFI, the asset quality of IDFC has always been stable for
over a decade through cycles and continues to be so with Gross NPA at 1.86% and
Net NPA at 0.52% as of 30^th September 2025. On cost of funds, we
expect it to drop from here on. The bank is witnessing improving operating
leverage. For instance, in FY25, total Business, i.e. loans and customer
deposits, grew by 22.7% YoY, against increase in Opex of 16.5% YoY. Following
on, in H1 FY26, total Business grew by 21.6% YoY, against Opex increase of
11.8% YoY. We hope to sustain this trend.”
