Axis Bank's Q2 net profit falls 25 pc to Rs 5,557.5 crore

Mumbai, Oct 15

Private lender Axis Bank Limited on Wednesday reported a 25 per cent year-on-year (YoY) drop in its net profit to Rs 5,557.5 crore for the quarter ended September 2025 (Q2 FY26).

The decline was mainly due to a one-time provision of Rs 1,231 crore made for two discontinued crop loan variants following an advisory from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), according to its stock exchange filing.

Despite the impact on profit, asset quality remained stable. The bank’s gross non-performing assets (NPA) ratio improved to 1.46 per cent from 1.57 per cent in the June quarter, while Net NPA stood nearly flat at 0.44 per cent, compared to 0.45 per cent in the previous quarter.

Shares of Axis Bank closed 0.4 per cent lower at Rs 1,172.5 on Wednesday ahead of the results. The stock, however, has gained about 6 per cent in the past one month.
