1QFY27 pre-quarter updates: Loan growth healthy,

focus on NIMs/NII growth

We highlight the key trends in the pre-quarter updates for 1QFY27 reported by key India Financials

ACbanks and NBFCs. While the advances growth was healthy for most (in line with Anuj Singla

the pick-up in system growth), deposit trends were mixed, with a tightening of (91-22) 6157-3590

system liquidity in Mar’26 also being a key contributor. As we highlighted in our anuj.singla@jpmchase.com

1QFY27 preview, we expect this quarter to be marked by benign asset quality, loan J.P.Tower,MorganSantacruz(E),India PrivateMumbaiLimited,- 400098,J.P. MorganSEBI
