State Bank of India (SBI) for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025 reported 10% drop in net profit at ₹18,643 crore as compared with ₹20,698 crore in the year ago period due to higher provisions.
Answering a question, SBI Chairman C.S. Setty said, 'There were some one-ups during the fourth quarter. The NII performed well and there was no major reason'
The bank's Net Interest Income (NII) for the quarter grew 2.63% to ₹42,775 crore Year on Year (YoY).
During the quarter the Net Interest Margin (NIM) was at 3.15% as against 3.47% YoY, down 32 bps.
Loan Loss provisions during the quarter grew 20.35% to ₹3,964 crore.
Central Board of the Bank, at its meeting held on Saturday declared a dividend of ₹ 15.90 per equity share of ₹ 1 each fully paid up for FY25.
The record date for determining the eligibility of members entitled to receive dividend on equity shares is May 16.
The bank has reported at it's advances increased 12.03% YoY to ₹42,20,703 crore and deposits grew 9.48% YoY to ₹53,82,190 crore.
Gross NPA for the quarter was down 8.78% to ₹76,880 crore.

For the full year the bank had a loan loss provision of ₹14,418 crore, an increase of 51.49% YoY.
The bank has cut it's credit growth for this year. 'Our earlier guidance (for credit growth) was 14 to 16%, we are moderating that to 12 to 13%. The system level credit growth probably would be 10 to 11%,' Mr Setty said.
He said the rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India would put pressure on the bank's margin but he could not quantify the impact.
He said the bank's asset quality had been strong for the last five years and there was sufficient headroom to lend money for growth.
The board has authorised the bank to raise ₹25,000 by way of Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) or Follow on Public Offer (FPO).

SBI, two other investors to make a killing from Rs 3,600-crore JSW Cement IPO

MUMBAI: JSW Cement, the slag-focused cement maker that had scaled down its primary share sale size by Rs 400 crore, has fixed the price-band for the Rs 3,600-crore issue that opens on August 7 at Rs 139-147, valuing it at the upper end at Rs 20,040 crore. The issue consists of Rs 1,600 crore in fresh issue, making this the largest fresh issue in the cement sector in the past 10 years, and Rs 2,000 crore in offer for sale by Apollo Global, Synergy and SBI, which had collectively invested Rs 1,600 crore in the company in the third quarter of FY22. The company was planning the IPO in January 2025 but last September the regulator Sebi had withheld permission for alleged regulatory lapses involving the inter-se transfer of investments held by Hexa Securities and Finance in which several Jindal family members, including group chairman Sajjan Jindal, were holding director positions. The Rs 2,000-crore OFS involves SBI and two other investors AP Asia Opportunistic Holding (Apollo Global) and Synergy Metals Investments Holdings offloading their stakes. While AP Asia Opportunistic Holdings, and Synergy Metals will be selling shares worth Rs 937.5 crore each in the OFS, SBI will be selling shares worth Rs 125 crore, making a clean profit over its weighted average investment cost of Rs 65.45 per share or 124.6% gains on its investment. The other two investors will be making 115% and 117%, respectively off their investment in four years. The company intends to utilise Rs 800 crore of the fresh issue proceeds for part financing the capex on a new integrated cement unit at Nagaur in Rajasthan, and a further Rs 720 crore to repay debt which stood at Rs 6,166.6 crore as of March 2025, up from Rs 5,836 crore a year before. The company has already deployed Rs 287.8 crore in its Nagaur unit till June 2024, out of a total estimated cost of Rs 2,697.3 crore. The remaining Rs 2,409.4 crore will be funded from IPO proceeds (and project loan of Rs 1,609.4 crore). The company with 20.6 million tonnes of annual capacity, which it is planning to take to 41.8 million over the next four to five years, had filed the IPO papers with Sebi in August 2024, but Sebi kept the approval on hold in September and the final approval was accorded only this January.

25% US tariff to hit India's GDP growth by 25-30 bps: SBI Research

Terming the imposition of 25-per cent tariff on India by the United States with penalty 'a bad business decision', the State Bank of India's (SBI) research division recently said the mysterious forces of global supply chain should auto adjust and cushion the impact. The tariff is expected to affect India's gross domestic product (GDP) growth by 25 to 30 basis points (bps) for fiscal 2025-26 (FY26), it said.

US GDP, inflation and currency face greater risk of downgrades compared to India, it noted. US tariffs are projected to cost the average US household about $2,400 in the short term, mainly due to higher prices from tariff-driven inflation. Low-income US families may lose around $1,300, nearly triple the relative burden compared to high earners, while high-income households could face losses of up to $5,000, though with less impact on their overall financial stability, it observed. India's primary exports will be affected by the 25-per cent US tariff. Among the sectors to be affected the most is textile products, including toilet and kitchen linen; bedspreads; furnishing articles of cotton, not knitted or crochted; and cotton bed linen. India has been an emerging supplier to US solar Industry, as US is restricting import of Chinese products. Therefore, imports from India to the United States has increased massively in 2023 and reached over 8 GW in 2024. The new tariff could make solar industry products from India more expensive for US buyers. So Indian supply will become less attractive to US companies, and they may replace solar modules from with tariff-free nations, SBI Research added. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (DS)

Nabard promotes 6,215 farmer producer organisations, says FM Sitharaman

National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard) has promoted the formation of 6,215 FPOs till date under various schemes, Parliament was informed on Monday. The major support provided to Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) includes formation of FPOs, capacity building, credit facilitation and market linkage support, financial literacy, etc, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in Lok Sabha. In addition, she said, Nabard, in partnership with Small Farmers' Agri-Business Consortium (SFAC) and Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), has conducted FPO Melas (TARANG-celebrating Collectivisation) at 50 locations across 24 states/UTs to demonstrate the products of FPOs/OFPOs to enable the marketing & branding of FPO products. She further said Nabard extends loan assistance to state governments for the creation of rural infrastructure through various funds, that is, Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF), Nabard Infrastructure Development Assistance (NIDA), Rural Infrastructure Assistance to State Governments (RIAS), Long Term Irrigation Fund (LTIF), Micro Irrigation Fund (MIF), Food Processing Fund (FPF), Warehouse Infrastructure Fund (WIF) and Fisheries and Aquaculture Infrastructure Development Fund (FIDF). State/UT wise yearly allocation is made under RIDF on the basis of funds allocated by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from Priority Sector Lending (PSL) shortfall, she said. Other than RIDF, the support through various funds is provided to States/UTs on the basis of proposals received from the respective State/UT Governments, and no yearly allocation is made, she said. The reduction in the Priority Sector Lending (PSL) shortfall fund in the financial year 2024-25 resulted in a consequent reduction in RIDF fund allocation to the States/UTs, she said. NABARD's funding support through the above-mentioned funds enhances rural infrastructure, including roads, irrigation, and storage facilities, which leads to increased productivity and better market access in rural areas, she said. This, in turn, improves the ability of rural borrowers to absorb and utilise credit effectively, she said, adding, Nabard also provides short-term & long-term refinance to Cooperative Banks and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) for agricultural loans at concessional rates. Sharing data of sanction and disbursement under RIDF during the past three years, 2022-23 to 2024-25, to various states, she said, against sanctions of Rs 1,40,789 crore, Rs 1,22,595 crore disburement was done. For funds other than RIDF, she said, disbursement of Rs 36,439.63 crore was done against sanctions of Rs 47,617.63 crore during the financial years 2022-23 to 2024-25.
