Risk intelligence
Bank has Rs 2,000 crore export credit exposure with ~5% (Rs 100 crore) in countries affected by tariffs and sanctions. Management acknowledged impact on customers but viewed domestic consumption as able to absorb surplus production.
9-month deposit growth of 5.63% trails credit growth of 10.73% and full-year target of 10-11%. Rising CD ratio (78.56%) could constrain future lending capacity if deposit accretion doesn't accelerate.
Bank has taken 30bps MCLR cut already with monthly reductions based on RBI formula. While 75% deposits repriced, further MCLR cuts could compress margins in a rate-cut cycle.
PSU exposure reduced by Rs 6,000 crore (8-9% of corporate book) due to pricing issues. While improving portfolio quality, this constrains overall credit growth and forces reliance on lower-margin retail segments.
