By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on April 25, 2025, 16:24 IST
RBL Bank posted a sharp decline in profitability for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, with net profit tumbling 80% year-on-year to ₹69 crore compared to ₹353 crore in Q4 FY24. The drop was primarily due to additional provisioning undertaken by the bank on its Joint Liability Group (JLG) loan portfolio, where the bank took total NPA provision coverage to 100%.
Despite the hit to profits, the bank's total income for the quarter stood at ₹2,563 crore, a growth of 4% from ₹2,463 crore in the same period last year. Net Interest Income (NII) for the quarter was ₹1,563 crore, down 2% YoY, while other income rose 14% to ₹1,000 crore.
Operating expenses increased 7% YoY to ₹1,702 crore, leading to a cost-to-income ratio of 66.4%. The operating profit for the quarter stood at ₹861 crore, reflecting a 3% decline over the previous year.
On the balance sheet front, net advances rose 10% YoY to ₹92,618 crore, while total deposits grew 7% YoY to ₹110,944 crore. The bank maintained a CASA ratio of 34.1%. Gross NPA ratio improved to 2.60% from 2.92% sequentially, and Net NPA dropped to 0.29%, down 24 basis points quarter-on-quarter.
The bank's capital adequacy ratio stood at 15.54%, and its Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) remained healthy at 133%.

May WPI inflation drops to 0.39%, marking 14-month low
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 16, 2025, 12:11 IST India's wholesale price index (WPI)-based inflation dropped sharply to 0.39% in May 2025, compared to 0.85% in April 2025, marking the lowest level in 14 months, according to data released by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The sharp decline in wholesale inflation is primarily attributed to easing prices in manufactured products and fuel. This is a significant development, especially as retail inflation remains elevated and the Reserve Bank of India continues to maintain a cautious stance on interest rates. Key highlights: WPI Inflation (May 2025): 0.39% WPI Inflation (April 2025): 0.85% 14-month low, last seen at similar levels in March 2024 Sectoral breakdown: Fuel and power prices saw a notable cooling, aligning with global trends in crude oil fluctuations during May. Manufactured products also contributed to the softening of inflation, reflecting subdued demand conditions and improved input cost efficiencies. Primary articles witnessed some uptick, but were insufficient to offset the broader slowdown. This data is expected to have positive implications for the Indian economy, potentially relieving cost pressures for businesses and aiding monetary policy flexibility in the coming quarters.
