Sumant Kathpalia, managing director and CEO, IndusInd Bank, said, “The Indian economy continued resilient performance despite increasingly turbulent global landscape. The Banking industry however has seen continued competitive intensity for deposits and divergent trends for growth and asset quality in unsecured loans versus secured loans. IndusInd Bank too aligned its strategy focusing on ramping up retail deposit mobilization, maintaining traction on secured loans, de-growing unsecured loans and building conservative buffers on provisions.

The outcomes for Q2 were evident in deposit growth of 15% YoY ahead of loan growth of 13% YoY. The NNPAs were stable at 0.64% with 70% provision coverage ratio. The Profit After Tax at Rs 1,331crore lower by 40% YoY as we build contingent provision buffer this quarter. The Capital Adequacy remains healthy at 16.51% and Liquidity Coverage at 118 % well above regulatory thresholds. The Bank thus has strengthened the balance sheet during the quarter and will look towards growth acceleration in tandem with underlying economy.”
