With the earnings season for the quarter ended Sept. 30 right around the corner, a large variety of prominent names have begun declaring dates for their results, with Axis Bank Ltd. set to do the same.
Indian bank stocks are in focus with the new UPI fee on transactions through its home-grown digital payments network having the potential to create an annual revenue pool of Rs 270 billion ($2.8 billion) by fiscal 2028, with banks expected to capture the largest share of the profits, according to research firm Bernstein.
Axis Bank expects investments in artificial intelligence and technology to help it grow its business without significantly increasing its workforce, pointing to slower hiring at India's third-largest private lender.
The bank has already seen productivity gains from its technology investments. It opened about 400 branches in fiscal 2026 even as its net headcount fell 3% from a year earlier. Axis Bank had more than 101,000 employees at the end of the fiscal year in March.
