5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 30th 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.”
