ICICI Bank reported a strong Q1 FY24 with PAT up 39.7% YoY to INR 96.48 billion, driven by robust loan growth of 18.1% YoY and NII expansion of 38% YoY. Core operating profit less provisions grew 38% YoY to INR 125.95 billion, supported by healthy fee income and controlled credit costs. NIM compressed sequentially to 4.78% due to lagged deposit repricing, but management expects stabilization in 2-3 quarters. Asset quality improved with GNPA at 0.48% (down from 0.70% YoY). The bank continues to invest in technology and distribution, with employee expenses rising 36.3% YoY. Guidance remains positive on growth, though cost of deposits may rise further. Risk: unsecured loan growth (40.6% YoY) could face regulatory scrutiny if industry stress emerges.
आईसीआईसीआई बैंक ने पहली तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। इसका मुनाफा पिछले साल की तुलना में 39.7% बढ़कर 96,480 करोड़ रुपये हो गया। इसकी वजह लोन में 18.1% की बढ़ोतरी और ब्याज आय में 38% का उछाल है। बैंक की कमाई मजबूत है और खराब लोन कम हैं। ब्याज दरों में बदलाव के कारण बैंक की कमाई का मार्जिन थोड़ा घटकर 4.78% रहा, लेकिन अगले 2-3 तिमाहियों में स्थिर होने की उम्मीद है। बैंक के खराब लोन का अनुपात 0.48% है, जो पिछले साल से बेहतर है। बैंक तकनीक और शाखाओं पर खर्च बढ़ा रहा है। हालांकि, बिना गारंटी वाले लोन में 40.6% की तेज बढ़ोतरी पर नजर रखनी होगी, क्योंकि इससे नियामक सख्ती हो सकती है।

The core operating profit less provisions grew by 38% year-on-year to INR 125.95 billion in this quarter.
We will see the cost of funds continue to increase, I would guess, for the next couple of quarters. By then, the repricing impact should have largely taken place.
We are quite comfortable with our origination and the quality of the portfolio that we have, as well as the incremental volumes that we are doing.
