IDBI Bank profit nearly doubles on year, margin improves from June

Mumbai-based IDBI Bank Ltd reported a 98% jump in net profit, year-on-year, amounting to ₹3,627 crore at the end of the second quarter ending September 2025.A big chunk, about ₹1,699 crore, of the added profit came from the sale of 11.11% stake in the National Securities Depositories Limited (NSDL) through the initial public offering (IPO).

Without the one-time gain, IDBI Bank’s profit would stand at ₹1,928 crore, up 5% year-on-year, and a little less than the ₹2,007 crore clocked in the preceding quarter.
