ICICI Bank Profit Spurts 20% on NII

ICICI Bank, India's second-largest lender, reported a 20% year-on-year increase in Q2 net profit to 14,843 crore, driven by an 18% rise in net interest income. Profitability declined slightly due to forex inflow programs. Net interest margin fell to 4.18% from 4.36% in the previous quarter, attributed to foreign currency deposits and branch expansion. The bank earned $18 billion in FCNR(B) deposits.
