Analytical Approach
Ind-Ra continues to fully consolidate IDBI’s subsidiaries while arriving at the ratings. The agency has not factored in capital
support from its majority stakeholders — the government of India (GoI) and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) — to
arrive at the ratings, owing to their planned strategic divestment in the bank.
Detailed Rationale of the Rating Action
The ratings reflect the bank’s comfortable capitalisation, stable and granular deposit franchise with a strong current account
and saving account (CASA) profile, improving asset quality metrics, and a retail-focused loan portfolio that supports earnings
stability and portfolio diversification over FY26. The bank’s profitability improved in FY26, aided by healthy margins, declining
credit costs, and controlled operating expenses, resulting in improved internal capital generation.
Ind-Ra notes that LIC and the GoI collectively held a 94.72% stake in the bank as of 1QFY27. Both shareholders have
expressed their intention to divest up to 60.72% of their shareholding, including the transfer of management control, through a
strategic stake sale. The divestment process remains underway and will remain a rating monitorable.

Detailed Description of Key Rating Drivers
Comfortable Capital Position: IDBI maintains a strong capital base, offering resilience for growth and risk absorption. The
bank’s internal accruals have been improving since FY21, leading to an improvement in its common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio
to 26.38% in 1QFY27 (FY26: 25.56%; FY25: 23.51%, FY24: 20.11%). Ind-Ra expects the bank’s internal capital generation to
be sufficient to support its medium-term growth plans, with no material need for external capital infusion. Further supporting its
credit profile, the bank had a strong provision coverage ratio (PCR; excluding technical write-offs) of 93.01% in 1QFY27 (FY26:
93.70%). Ind-Ra notes that IDBI’s capital buffers are maintained above the regulatory thresholds and provide cushion for
expected credit loss (ECL) implementation. The bank’s preparedness for the implementation of ECL norms will remain a key
rating monitorable.
Stable Deposit Franchise with Strong CASA Profile: The bank’s CASA deposit ratio declined to 43.64% in 1QFY27 (FY26:
44.59%; FY25: 46.56%; FY24: 50.43%). The agency believes competitive intensity to accrete low-cost deposits will remain
high among banks in the near term. IDBI’s current account balance reduced to 15.76% in 1QFY27 (FY26: 18.37%; FY25:
20.02%; FY24: 17.65%), with the savings account balance increased to 27.88% in 1QFY27 (FY26: 26.23%; FY25: 26.55%;
FY24: 32.78%). The cost of deposits reduced to 4.59% in 1QFY27 (4QFY26: 4.69%; 3QFY26: 4.72%). Ind-Ra opines that
competition among banks for garnering CASA deposits will continue to remain systematically higher. Therefore, an
improvement in IDBI’s CASA franchise will be a strong reflection of its sustainable low-cost liability franchise. The bulk deposits
accounted for 22.09% of the bank’s term deposits in 1QFY27 (FY26: 23.76%; FY25: 21.44%; FY24: 15.05%), indicating its
loan growth appetite where it is targeting to grow, at least in line with system credit growth.
Improving Trend in Asset Quality: IDBI’s asset quality metrics continued to improve in 1QFY27, with the gross non-
performing assets (NPAs) declining to 2.30% (FY26: 2.32%; FY25: 2.98%; FY24: 4.53%) and the net NPAs at 0.16% in
1QFY27 (FY26: 0.15%; FY25: 0.15%; FY24: 0.34%), aligning well with its peers. The consistent decline in gross NPAs and net
NPAs reflects the bank’s enhanced risk management framework across corporate and retail segments through centralised loan
processing, enhanced monitoring, and exposure controls. Furthermore, its retail credit processes rely on rule-based filters,
supported by continuous portfolio tracking. The slippage ratio (annualised) remained stable at 0.60% in 1QFY27 (FY26: 0.63%;
FY25: 0.73%; FY24: 1.92%). The PCR, excluding technical write-offs, remained robust at 93.01% in 1QFY27 (FY26: 93.70%;
FY25: 94.96%; FY24: 92.78%). Additionally, the bank maintained a low special mention account (SMA) portfolio with SMA-1
and SMA-2 together accounting for just 0.9% as of 1QFY27 (1QFY26: 1.2%) of the total gross advances. Ind-Ra expects the
gross and net NPAs to remain stable over FY27-FY28.
Continued Retail Focus: IDBI bank continues to focus on retail loans, which accounted for 70% of its advances as of 1QFY27
(FY26: 70%; FY25: 70%; FY24: 70%). In line with its strategy, the bank intends to maintain retail loans at 70% of the overall
loan book. The portfolio remained predominantly retail-oriented, with structured retail advances comprising 41.32% of total
advances as of 1QFY27 (1QFY26: 44.91%), primarily constituting housing loans. The bank's housing loan portfolio increased
to INR763.16 billion as of 1QFY27 (1QFY26: INR689.98 billion), reflecting its continued focus on granular retail asset growth.
Non-structured retail advances increased to 28.95% of the total advances as of 1QFY27 (1QFY26: 25.29%), supported by
36.50% yoy growth in gold loans, contributing 8.54% as of 1QFY27 (7.60%), and 32.52% yoy rise in MSME lending.
Improved Profitability Profile: The bank’s profitability improved, supported by comfortable net interest margins (NIMs), lower
credit costs, and improved operating efficiency. IDBI’s NIM remained comfortable but moderated to around 3.6% in 1QFY27
(1QFY26: 3.7%; FY26: 3.8%; FY25: 4.6%), mainly supported by low cost of deposits and a healthy CASA profile. Its NIM
remained in line with its peers given the repo rate cut environment. The bank reported a return on average assets (RoA) of
2.3% in FY26 (FY25: 1.9%; FY24: 1.6%). On the credit costs front, the bank’s credit costs as per Ind-Ra calculatio
