| HDFC Bank on Saturday reported a 20% growth in net profit to Rs 2,794.5 crore for the quarter ended December 2014.

Net interest margin (NIM), a key indicator of profitability, also expanded to 4.4% compared to 4.2% in the third quarter of last financial year. Asset quality at India’s second largest private sector bank remained stable with gross non-performing assets (NPAs) at 0.99% of gross advances at the end of the third quarter as compared to 1.01% in the same period a year ago. Net NPAs were at 0.26% of net advances at the end of December quarter. Total restructured loans (including applications under process for restructuring) were at 0.1% of gross advances in the period under review compared to 0.2% at the end of December quarter last financial year.
