India`s SBI Q4 profit jumps 24% on strong loan demand

State Bank of India, the country's largest lender by assets, reported a 24% rise in its fourth-quarter profit on Thursday, aided by strong loan demand.

The state-run lender's net profit rose to 206.98 billion rupees ($2.48 billion) in the quarter ended March 31, from 166.95 billion rupees a year ago.

SBI's interest earned grew nearly 20% to 1.11 trillion rupees in the reported quarter.

Shares of the bank rose as much as 2.8% after the results and were last up around 1%.
