BENGALURU - State Bank of India, the country's largest lender, on Friday posted a 68.5% surge in third-quarter profit, boosted by a drop in bad loan provisions.

Net profit rose to 142.05 billion rupees ($1.74 billion) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, from 84.32 billion rupees a year earlier, the Mumbai-based lender said in a regulatory filing.

Analysts on average had expected a profit of 131.01 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv IBES data.
