Kotak Mahindra Bank tanks 13% since RBI whip, mcap dips to ₹3.19 lakh crore; Axis Bank now India’s 4th largest lender
Kotak Mahindra Bank shares have crashed almost 13 per cent since the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) barred the private-sector lender from onboarding any new customers till further notice, after finding ‘’serious deficiencies” in its IT infrastructure. Kotak Mahindra Bank’s market capitalisation (mcap) has shrunk to ₹3.19 lakh crore in two days, losing its rank as India’s fourth largest lender.
On the other hand, Axis Bank has overtaken Kotak Mahindra Bank to become India’s fourth largest lender as its mcap has risen to ₹3.48 lakh crore after its shares have jumped nearly five per cent on robust March quarter results.
Axis Bank reported a net profit of ₹7,130 crore in the January-March quarter, compared to a loss of ₹5,728.4 crore in the corresponding period last year. The private sector lender’s net interest income (NII)-the difference between interest earned and paid-rose 11.5 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to ₹13,089 crore in the quarter-under-review, compared to ₹11,742 crore in the year-ago period.
