SBI Reports Q4 Dip in Profit, Plans ₹25,000 Crore Equity Raise in FY26

India’s largest public sector bank, the State Bank of India (SBI), reported a 10% year-on-year decline in its standalone net profit for the fourth quarter of FY 2024–25, amounting to ₹18,643 crore. Despite this dip, the bank registered robust performance for the full financial year and announced strategic capital-raising plans and a dividend payout for shareholders.

Why in News?

SBI’s Q4 financial results for FY25 were released on May 3, 2025. The bank’s net profit for the January–March quarter fell compared to the same period last year, even as total income rose. The results are significant due to SBI’s central role in India’s financial system, and because the bank’s decisions on dividends and capital raising impact investors and market sentiment.
