Private sector lender ICICI Bank Friday reported 25 percent jump in its consolidated net profit for the quarter ended June 30 at Rs 2,077 crore buoyed by increase in advances and higher net interest income (NII).
The bank had clocked Rs 1,667 crore net profit during the April-June quarter of the last fiscal, it said in a BSE filing.
Total income of the bank rose to Rs 16,640 crore during the reporting quarter from Rs 14,750 crore a year ago, riding on higher advances.

Registering an increase of 32 percent, NII of the bank rose to Rs 3,193 crore from Rs 2,411 crore in the April-June quarter last year. NII is the revenue banks earn from interest on lending.
Net interest margin also went up by 0.4 percent (40 basis points) to 3.01 percent from 2.61 percent a year ago.
Net non-performing asset ratio, however, decreased to 0.61 percent, as on June-end, from 0.91 percent in the year ago. The capital adequacy ratio stood at 18.54 percent at the end of the reporting quarter.
