SBI posted a surge of 74 per cent in its net profit to ₹13,264 crore, against ₹7,627 crore in the year-ago period. In the lender's statement, SBI said its net interest income grew 12.8 per cent to ₹35,183 crore. Home loan portfolio grew 14 per cent to ₹5.94 lakh crore and accounted for more than half its retail portfolio of ₹10.7 lakh crore.

SBI Chairman Dinesh Khara said that although bank credit had been growing twice as fast as deposits, SBI has a large base of deposits. "We have ₹3.5 lakh crore, which was invested in liquid instruments when there was not enough opportunity to lend. We can now use this for funding credit growth," the chairman said.
