Karur Vysya Bank reported a 45% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹756 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to ₹521 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year. The bank's total business grew by 15.94% YoY to ₹2,27,267 crore, driven by a 17.13% surge in advances which crossed ₹1 trillion to reach ₹1,04,680 crore.
