The bank's period-end advances under management reached Rs 31.27 lakh crore, marking a 12.4% increase from Rs 27.82 lakh crore a year earlier, according to an Economic Times report.

On the liabilities side, HDFC Bank reported strong deposit mobilisation during the quarter. Period-end deposits rose 14.7% year-on-year to Rs 31.71 lakh crore, up from Rs 27.64 lakh crore as of June 30, 2025.

The lender also witnessed growth in its low-cost deposit base. Current Account Savings Account (CASA) deposits stood at approximately Rs 10.26 lakh crore at the end of the quarter, registering a 9.4% increase from around Rs 9.37 lakh crore a year ago.

CASA deposits remain a key indicator of a bank's funding strength as they provide relatively low-cost sources of capital.

HDFC Bank, India's largest private-sector lender by market capitalisation, is currently valued at over Rs 12.34 lakh crore.

The bank's shares closed at Rs 801.05 on Friday. The stock gained about 1% over the past week and 6% over the past month. However, it remains 19% lower so far in 2026 and has declined 7% over the past three years, although it has delivered a return of more than 8% over the last five years.

Management Rejig

The quarter also saw significant leadership changes at the bank. Former part-time Chairman Atanu Chakraborty resigned in March, a move that triggered a sharp selloff in HDFC Bank shares.

In his resignation letter, Chakraborty said, "Certain happenings and practices within the bank that I have observed over the last two years are not in congruence with my personal values and ethics. This is the basis of my aforementioned decision."

Following his departure, the bank appointed former IAS officer and ex-Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar as its part-time non-executive chairman.

Separately, the board named Puneet Sharma as CFO-designate effective September 1. He will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer on December 1. The bank also appointed Jigar Shah, currently Managing Director and Head of Compliance at KKR's local subsidiary, as its General Counsel.
