The bank's net interest margin (NIM) for the quarter stood at 3.95% as compared with 4.01% in the preceding quarter and 3.97% in the year ago period.
"The NIM contracted due to the reduction in lending rates. We are trying to protect the NIM by managing the liability side of our business," managing director Nidhu Saxena said after announcing the quarterly numbers.
The Pune-headquartered lender's operating profit rose 12% year-on-year at Rs 2,570 crore. Total income in the quarter under review stood at Rs 7,879 crore against Rs 6,769 crore in the year-ago period. Net interest income rose 17.6% at Rs 3,292 crore.

It has made lower provisions and contingencies at Rs 86742 crore during the quarter as compared with Rs 95047 crore. Provisions to cover bad loans however stood higher at Rs 71903 crore against Rs 58639 crore.
The bank's gross non-performing assets ratio remained steady at 1.74% at the end of June, little changed from three months ago. The ratio however improved from 1.85% a year-ago, despite the bank recording higher slippages of Rs 727 crore against Rs 592 crore over the same period, largely due to stress in agricultural loan.
"Recovery and upgradation helped to reduce the NPA ratio," Saxena said.
BoM's advances grew 15.34% year-on-year to Rs 2.41 lakh crore, even as the banking sector's average credit growth remained in single digit in the first three months of the fiscal. The bank is projecting a 17% expansion in advances for FY26.
The bank is planning to raise Rs 10,000 crore in infrastructure bonds this fiscal. The state-owned lender also has board approval to raise Rs 5000 crore in equity and Rs 2,500 crore in debt.
"We are engaging foreign and local investors. But the capital raising plan has not been firmed up yet," Saxena said.

Gautam Adani's BIG move, begins exit from FMCG venture, sells major stake in AWL Agri Business in deal worth Rs 71500000000 to...
Gautam Adani (File) Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) announced on Thursday that it has agreed to sell a 20 per cent stake in AWL Agri Business Ltd to Lence Pte Ltd, a part of Wilmar International. The deal is priced at Rs. 275 per share, and the total value of the sale is Rs. 7,150 crore. With this move, Wilmar will now become the majority owner of AWL, holding 64 per cent of the company. Right now, Adani Commodities LLP, a unit of AEL, owns 30.42 per cent of AWL. This sale is part of Adani's ongoing plan to sell its entire 44 per cent stake in AWL and exit the FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) business that it had jointly run with Wilmar. Agreement between Adani Commodities LLP and Lence Pte. Ltd In December 2024, Adani Commodities LLP (ACL) and Lence Pte. Ltd, a part of Wilmar International from Singapore, signed an agreement. As part of this deal, both sides gave each other the option to buy or sell Adani's shares in Adani Wilmar Limited (AWL) at a later date. They agreed on a price cap of Rs. 305 per share. At that time, both companies owned 44 per cent each in AWL, together holding 88 per cent of the company. In January 2025, Adani sold 13.5 per cent of its shares in AWL for Rs. 276.51 per share, raising Rs. 4,855 crore. This was done to follow rules that require more of the company's shares to be held by the public. After that sale, Adani still held around 30.42 per cent in AWL. Now, out of this, Adani plans to sell 11 per cent to 20 per cent to Lence. The rest will be offered to strategic partners and investors that Wilmar brings in. The final 10.42 per cent of Adani's stake will also be sold to selected investors before the deal with Lence is finished. Once all these sales are done, Adani will completely exit AWL. That means AWL will no longer be linked to Adani Enterprises in any official way. (With IANS inputs)

Packing expert's luggage trick can save your airport sanity. All you need is a piece of cardboard
Air travel often comes with its fair share of stress—long queues, tight spaces, and above all, the challenge of fitting your life into a carry-on bag. But a recent update from the European Union might be a breath of fresh air for travellers who dread repacking at the gate . In response to new EU regulations, Ryanair has officially increased the dimensions of its free cabin baggage allowance from 40cm x 20cm x 25cm to a more generous 40cm x 30cm x 20cm. That's a 20% boost in volume—a change that has flyers cautiously optimistic. Ryanair cheekily confirmed the update via X (formerly Twitter), writing: 'yes, it's true… our free bag size is increasing by 20% (we'll still be watching),' a nod to the airline's well-known strictness on hand luggage.

Cardboard. Yes, Really. But what does one do with this newfound space? Enter packaging expert Tom Schott from Schott Packaging, whose carry-on hack has sparked buzz across frequent flyer communities. His advice isn't about cramming in more—rather, it's about how you use the space. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Remember Him? Sit Down Before You See What He Looks Like Now 33 Bridges Undo 'The new dimension is a game-changer, but only if you use it wisely,' Schott said according to a report from UNILAD. 'The mistake is to simply cram more in. The real victory for passengers is using that volume to pack with structure. A well-packed bag is a compliant bag.' His surprising recommendation? Add a snug-fitting cardboard box inside your soft bag. This simple hack not only prevents the fabric from bulging—something that often draws attention from gate staff—but also helps you utilise every single corner of your allowance.

It acts as a frame, keeps your items compact, and creates a 'crush-proof' zone for chargers, toiletries, and gadgets—protecting them from leaks, pressure, and damage. This makes taking out and re-packing electronics during security checks a breeze, since their designated space remains undisturbed. It's not just clever—it's efficient. Visualise Before You Pack Another underrated tip? Layout your items before packing. 'It gives you a real-world view of what fits and helps you assemble your packed modules logically and quickly,' said Schott. This level of structure could save travellers from the dreaded gate-side fees for oversized baggage. 'These aren't just clever tricks, but core principles of efficient packing,' Schott said.
