Canara Bank net profit up 21.6% to Rs 4,572cr in Q1
Bengaluru: Canara Bank delivered a strong performance in the April-June quarter of FY 2025-26, with net profit rising 21.6% year-on-year to Rs 4,752 crore. This growth was driven by robust advances, higher fee-based income, and improved asset quality. The bank's global business grew 10.9% YoY to Rs 25.6 lakh crore. Global deposits increased 9.9% to Rs 14.6 lakh crore, while gross advances rose 12.4% to Rs 10.9 lakh crore. Retail credit saw significant growth of 33.9%, led by double-digit increases in both housing and vehicle loans. In an interview with TOI, Canara Bank MD & CEO K Satyanarayana Raju said the bank consistently exceeded its guidance across parameters for the last eight quarters. "We are on a steady upward trajectory. Even in a traditionally slow June quarter, we delivered 12.4% credit growth, led by RAM (Retail, Agriculture and MSME) sectors. We intend to maintain this momentum," he said. Raju credited the improved NPA performance to long-term investments in credit underwriting and technology. "This success is the result of sustained efforts over two years and three months, including overhauling underwriting processes, centralising loan approvals, and enhancing monitoring through data analytics. Slippages reduced from Rs 3,800 crore to Rs 2,100 crore per quarter," he added, noting that fresh corporate slippages are now "almost zero."

The bank continues to expand its physical presence. "Public sector banks, including ours, recognise the importance of branches for retail business sourcing and low-cost deposits. We have been opening over 250 branches annually for two years," Raju said. This year, the bank plans to open 260 new branches, bringing the total to over 10,000. "We use AI and data analytics to target high-potential semi-urban and rural areas," he explained. New branches are also planned in Ladakh, where the bank acquired land and is setting up a regional office. The bank is upgrading its ATM network by replacing old machines with cash recyclers to enable 24x7 cash deposits. "Our goal is 4,000 recyclers this year; 2,500 are already installed," Raju noted. While UPI usage has surpassed ATM transactions among younger customers, senior citizens and middle-aged users still prefer physical banking. "We are aligning our ATM upgrades with these behavioural shifts. Cash recyclers will also allow shopkeepers to deposit earnings after hours," he added.

Noida airport's expansion likely to hit 17k families, 4.6k of them to lose land
Noida: The expansion of Noida International Airport is set to uproot more than 4,600 families and force the relocation of seven govt schools. A draft rehabilitation plan — released by the district administration on Wednesday — said more than 17,000 families were likely to be affected directly or indirectly by the acquisition of 1,857 hectares across 14 villages for the airport's third and fourth phases. According to a household survey conducted between May and June, most affected families are small-scale farmers or agricultural labourers, with 58% of them earning between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh annually. Only 4% earn more than Rs 5 lakh a year. The draft plan, prepared on the basis of the survey, said since a large part of the economy was dependent on farming and animal husbandry, the resettlement area should include the infrastructure like facilities for livestock.

Plots ranging from 50 to 500sqm will be allocated to the villagers based on family size. Roads, drinking water, sewage systems, power connections, community halls, anganwadis, fair price shops, cremation grounds, and areas for cattle will form part of the new settlement, the plan specified. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nvidia's AI Strategy Is Clear - But Is Wall Street Paying Attention? Seeking Alpha Read More Undo The draft also introduced gender parity by recognising unmarried adult daughters as eligible claimants. Like sons in the families, they will also receive separate plots and financial assistance. For the 17,945 affected families in total, the package is likely to include a monthly subsistence allowance of Rs 3,000 for a year, Rs 50,000 as transport compensation, and an additional Rs 50,000 for SC/ST families. There will also be provisions for skill training and job preference in airport-related services for one member from each family. Discontent, however, appears to be brewing among a section of villagers. Only 1% of households in Neemka Shahjahanpur, 20% in Khwajpur, and 50% in Thora participated in the survey that preceded the draft plan, seeking better compensation and water security. Apart from households, seven govt schools will have to be relocated from Banwariwas, Kishorepur, Ramner, Neemka Shahjahanpur, Khwajpur, Thora, and Jewar Bangar. According to the plan, land will be allotted to these schools at no cost at the new site, although no compensation will be given for the land currently occupied by them. The draft plan is awaiting approval from the state govt. "Once approved, we'll publish the final scheme and formally declare the resettlement area. The collector will determine land values and calculate the compensation, including a 100% solatium as mandated," said Bacchu Singh, ADM (land acquisition).Landowners, the draft said, will receive Rs 4,300 per sqm in compensation, 40% higher than the rate in previous phases. The expansion will significantly boost the airport's capacity, adding runways, cargo zones, and maintenance areas. "This is a project of national importance," Singh added. The project, which received aviation ministry clearance in 2017, aims to be the country's largest greenfield airport. While the first two phases covering 2,699 hectares are nearing completion, the expansion will require an additional 2,053 hectares.
