2QFY27 PPOP was 13% ahead of estimate, mainly driven by strong fee income, while slightly lower provisions resulted in a big PAT beat. Fee income grew 22% YoY, with the fee-to-asset ratio improving c.20bps QoQ. It was also broad-based. Loan growth continued to accelerate, albeit led by wholesale, while core NIM declined 12bps QoQ due to the impact of FCNR deposits and an adverse loan mix.
