The stocks of IndusInd Bank and RBL Bank have nearly halved in a month and shed 65 — 75 per cent in a year, as worries over asset quality and loan growth dented investor sentiment. At the current levels, the RBL Bank stock trades near its all-time low, while IndusInd Bank is at a nearly six-year low.
This despite IndusInd Bank’s management clarifying a week ago that the bank is well-capitalised. RBL Bank issued another media statement on Tuesday stating that its financial position remains strong, though it did see a 3 per cent reduction in deposits last week.
