New Delhi: Public sector lender Union Bank of India (UBI) reported a significant 34% YoY increase in consolidated net profit for the second quarter of FY2025, reaching Rs 4,720 crore, compared to Rs 3,511 crore in the same quarter last year. This profit surge was aided by a reduction in provisions and contingencies. The bottom line rose 28% sequentially.
NII declined marginally by 0.9% to Rs 9,047 crore from Rs 9,126 crore a year ago, as interest expenses rose slightly during the quarter. Despite this, total income remained steady, supported by a healthy contribution from non-interest income sources and recovery from written-off accounts.
