ICICI Bank reported a solid Q1 FY25 with PAT growing 14.6% YoY to INR 110.59 billion, driven by core operating profit growth of 11% YoY and strong fee income growth of 13.4% YoY. Domestic loan growth was 15.9% YoY, led by retail (17.1% YoY) and business banking (35.6% YoY). NIM compressed to 4.36% from 4.78% a year ago due to deposit cost pressures and competitive pricing. Asset quality remained stable with net NPA at 0.43%, though gross NPA additions rose seasonally due to KCC portfolio. Management guided for gradual normalization of credit costs around 50 bps and expects OpEx growth to moderate. Key risk: intensifying competition in corporate and mortgage lending could further compress NIMs.
आईसीआईसीआई बैंक ने पहली तिमाही में 14.6% ज्यादा मुनाफा कमाया, जो 11,059 करोड़ रुपये रहा। इसकी वजह बैंक की मुख्य कमाई (ब्याज और फीस) में 11% और फीस आय में 13.4% की बढ़ोतरी थी। देश में लोन 15.9% बढ़ा, खासकर रिटेल (17.1%) और छोटे-बड़े कारोबारियों (35.6%) को दिए गए कर्ज से। ब्याज दरों में अंतर (NIM) 4.78% से घटकर 4.36% रह गया, क्योंकि जमा पर ब्याज बढ़ा और कर्ज सस्ता हुआ। बैंक के खराब कर्ज (NPA) स्थिर रहे, लेकिन किसान कर्ज (KCC) के कारण नए खराब कर्ज थोड़े बढ़े। आगे बैंक का खर्च कम होने और कर्ज घाटा 0.50% के आसपास रहने का अनुमान है। चिंता: कॉरपोरेट और होम लोन में कड़ी प्रतिस्पर्धा से मुनाफा और घट सकता है।

RISK GONE

We continue to operate within our strategic framework to strengthen our franchise, maintaining high standards of governance, deepening coverage, and enhancing delivery capabilities, are focus areas for our risk-calibrated, profitable growth.
On the recoveries, I think we have, you know, we have been saying for some time that the pace of recoveries will vary and may not continue at the same pace because we were still collecting out of the pool of NPAs that got created in fiscal 2021, fiscal 2022.
I would expect, you know, that that should be a fair indicator. I don't think that there is anything that should take it up materially, you know, in our business as usual sense.
