The company has reported an increase of 4.21 per cent in its total income during the second quarter to `2,970.22 crore, as against `2,850.23 crore in the year-ago period. “The increase in loan volumes coupled with the spread on loans over the cost of borrowings in H1 (first-half of FY11) helped us report a 21.63 per cent increase in our net profit,” HDFC’s vice-chairman,
Mr Keki M Mistry, said. The company reported a 29 per cent growth in its loan approvals.
