ICICI Bank's quarterly profit fell 25 per cent as its bad loans ticked up, although the decline was smaller than expected.

The bank's net profit fell to 2,232 crore ($333.26 million) for its fiscal first quarter to June 30, from 2,976 crore (Rs 29.76 billion) a year earlier, the Mumbai-based bank said in a statement on Friday.

Analysts on average had expected the lender, which is also listed in New York, to report a net profit of 21.99 billion rupees, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters.

Gross bad loans as a percentage of total loans were 5.87 per cent in the June quarter, compared with 5.82 per cent in the previous three months.
