    Bandhan Bank Falls 16%; Q1 FY27 Net Profit Rises 35%

    Bandhan Bank share price was trading at ₹176.29 on July 22, 2026, down 16% for the day. The stock opened at ₹187.95 and touched an intraday high of ₹192.22 before sliding to a low of ₹171.56. The trading volume was 130.2 lakh shares, compared to the 30-day average of 945 lakh shares. The sharp intraday movement followed the bank's Q1 FY27 results.

    Profit Rises on Lower Provisions 

    Despite the market reaction, Bandhan Bank's underlying numbers for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, showed meaningful improvement across most parameters. Net profit rose 35% YoY to ₹502 crore from ₹372 crore a year earlier. 

    Provisions fell 40% YoY to ₹683 crore, which helped boost the bottom line. Net interest income grew 5.9% YoY to ₹2,921 crore, while net total income came in at ₹3,524 crore, up 1.2% YoY. NIM held at 6.2% for the quarter, flat sequentially. RoA stood at 1.0% and RoE at 7.7%. 

    NPA Ratios Continue to Decline 

    Asset quality, long a key concern for investors tracking Bandhan Bank, showed its sharpest improvement in recent memory. Gross NPA fell to 3.1% from 5.0% in Q1 FY26, a reduction of 182 basis points YoY and down from 3.3% in Q4 FY26. Net NPA declined to 0.9% from 1.4% a year ago. The Provision Coverage Ratio, including technical write-offs, stood at 85.9% as of June 30, 2026. Collection efficiency for EEB loans held at 98.5% for the quarter.

    Loan Growth Broadens Beyond Microfinance

    Gross advances grew 16% YoY to ₹1.56 lakh crore as of June 2026. The retail book excluding housing grew 45% YoY, wholesale banking expanded 38%, and the housing book rose 6%. Secured advances grew 27% YoY and now constitute nearly 57% of the total loan book — a structural shift the bank has been deliberately pursuing over recent quarters to reduce its dependence on unsecured microfinance lending. 

    Deposits and Margins Hold Steady

    Total deposits reached ₹1.65 lakh crore, up 6.6% YoY. The CASA ratio stood above 29%, while retail deposits, comprising CASA and retail term deposits, rose 15.6% YoY to ₹1,21,956 crore, accounting for 74% of total deposits. CASA deposits stood at ₹48,479 crore for the quarter.

    About Bandhan Bank

    Bandhan Bank started its journey in India as a universal bank on August 23, 2015, and now is known as one of the largest private sector banks in India with its primary goal of financial inclusion and semi-urban/rural clients. The bank functions through 6,400 branches in 35 states and union territories of India, has over 74,500 employees, and has an account holder strength of over 3.2 crore.

    Conclusion

    Bandhan Bank's Q1 FY27 results reflect genuine progress on the metrics that have historically weighed on investor sentiment — asset quality, provisioning, and loan mix. A 35% rise in net profit alongside a 40% drop in provisions and a sharp improvement in both gross and net NPA ratios makes for a substantively better quarter than the year-ago period. The sharp fall in the share price on July 22 suggests the market either had higher expectations or remains cautious about how durable this recovery will prove. The trajectory of asset quality and secured lending growth in the quarters ahead will be the clearest indicator of whether this improvement is sustainable.
