Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
medium
Margin pressure from rising deposit costs
Deposit repricing benefits may be limited as industry competition keeps term deposit rates elevated, potentially compressing NIMs.
West Asia crisis impact on export credit
Direct exposure is minimal (0.10% of portfolio), but indirect effects on the economy and borrower health could increase stress.
ECL implementation impact
New expected credit loss norms from April 2027 may require additional provisions; management expects ₹250 crore COVID buffer to largely offset the estimated ₹279 crore impact.
