PSU banks have cut new home loan pricing by 50-60bps in the last three months, offering near-8% rates to existing customers switching institutions. This is increasing portfolio retention pressure and basis point stress on the existing loan book, requiring selective rate matching.
No big project loans were resolved in Q4 despite management expectations, as most remaining sticky loans are in litigation (NCLT, DRT, SAT). One INR 450 crore loan recently approved for restructuring won't exit NPA until May 2026. ARC basket sale failed to attract expression of interest.
Management acknowledges NIM will face pressure as the full 50bps repo rate cut transmits through borrowing costs and is passed to borrowers. Spread maintenance at 2.06% requires balancing competitive pricing with growth targets in a single-product company competing against banks with CASA advantages.
While incremental cost of funds has declined to 7.3% from 7.66%, the overall borrowing book of ~INR 270 lakh crore includes older high-cost term loans and NCDs that need to mature/retire. Full transmission to book cost will lag, creating a timing mismatch in margin optimization.
