HDB, a non‑bank lender linked to HDFC Bank, saw its profit jump from 5. 31 billion rupees last year to 7. 51 billion rupees this quarter.  

The rise comes as consumers spend more after tax cuts, especially on cars and home appliances.  

HDB’s consumer loans grew 16 %, faster than business lending (8 %) and equipment financing (11 %).  

The company’s assets under management increased 10. 7 % to 1. 19 trillion rupees, while net interest income grew 21. 6 % to nearly 24 billion rupees.  

Its net‑interest margin climbed from 8. 09 % to 8. 23 %, helped by lower borrowing costs.  

Earlier this fiscal year, HDB struggled with high bad loans.  

Since then it tightened lending rules for risky areas like unsecured business credits and commercial vehicles, cutting the share of overdue loans from 2. 81 % to 2. 44 %.  

Loan losses rose 8 % year‑on‑year but fell 3. 9 % from the previous quarter to 6. 85 billion rupees, supporting better profitability.
