Union Bank of India reported its standalone financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, showing a steady improvement in profitability and asset quality despite a decline in net interest income (NII).
For Q1 FY26, the bank’s net profit rose to ₹4,111 crore, up about 12% YoY from ₹3,688 crore in the same quarter last year. Sequentially, profit was slightly lower compared to ₹4,983 crore in Q4 FY25.
Total income for the quarter stood at ₹31,784 crore, up from ₹30,877 crore in Q1 FY25. Operating profit came in at ₹6,908 crore, down from ₹7,786 crore a year earlier.
Net interest income (NII), however, fell by 3.2% YoY, coming in at ₹9,112.6 crore compared to ₹9,412 crore in the year-ago period. This reflects some margin pressures despite healthy credit growth.
On the expenses side, total expenditure increased to ₹24,873 crore from ₹23,088 crore a year ago, largely due to higher interest and operating expenses. Provisions and contingencies fell sharply to ₹1,664 crore in Q1 FY26 from ₹2,756 crore in Q1 FY25, supporting the bottom line.
Improvement in asset quality
Union Bank’s gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) fell to ₹34,311 crore as of June 30, 2025, compared to ₹41,423 crore a year ago. Gross NPA ratio improved to 3.52%, down from 4.54% a year earlier.
Similarly, net NPAs dropped to ₹5,874 crore from ₹7,902 crore, with the net NPA ratio improving to 0.62% from 0.90% a year earlier.
