During this period, IDFC First Bank's capital adequacy ratio improved marginally to 16.22% by December 2025, compared to 16.11% at the end of December 2024. This indicates a stronger financial position for the bank as it continues to manage its capital effectively.

The bank's performance highlights its ability to grow profits and income while maintaining a focus on improving asset quality and capital adequacy. These results reflect IDFC First Bank's ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial health and operational efficiency.
