Karnataka Bank reports a 36.6% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit for the quarter ended 30 September 2026, reaching about ₹435.86 crore (₹435.89 crore cited in one report). The improvement in earnings is accompanied by higher income and measures of asset quality strengthening versus the year-ago period.
Across outlets, results for the same quarter are highlighted alongside changes in bad-loan indicators. One report states gross non-performing assets (GNPA) fall to 2.27% from 3.33% a year earlier, while net NPAs decline to 0.74% from 1.35%. Another outlet also frames the outcome as part of a broader half-year performance, reporting net profit at ₹854.84 crore for the half year ended September 2026.
Coverage broadly agrees on the profit growth rate and the direction of asset-quality improvement. Differences are mainly in which supplementary metrics are mentioned: some include operating profit and capital adequacy details, while others focus more narrowly on headline earnings.
