The bank posted a loan growth of 21 per cent on year to Rs 2.9 trillion while deposits grew by 15 per cent to Rs 3.36 trillion.

Asset quality remained stable with gross non performing assets (NPA) at 1.98 per cent of gross advances as on March 31, 2023 as against 2.06 per cent as on December 31, 2022.

Net NPA were 0.59 per cent of net advances as on March 31, 2023 as compared to 0.62 per cent as on December 31, 2022. The bank had a provision coverage ratio of 71 per cent at the end of the March.

The bank, which is planning to increase the retail mix of the asset book to 55-60 per cent over the medium term, said that its branch network will increase to 3,250 from 2,606.

“We continue to believe that branches play a very important role in the client’s journey. Even if the clients are not walking in, all our market surveys show it does give the client the confidence to see a brick-and-mortar branch. We also believe that our branch expansion is linked to our home [loan] market strategy,” said Sumant Kathpalia, managing director and CEO of IndusInd Bank during the post earnings media interaction.
