What changed
Relative to the prior quarter, the emphasis shifted toward FY2027 above-system loan growth, a broader AI and digital operating-leverage program, and expanding mortgage distribution. The core direction remained consistent: strengthen granular deposits, improve efficiency and maintain asset quality while watching margin pressure.
Guidance delta
Maintained. Management expects FY2027 loan growth to remain above system growth, while continuing to pursue more granular deposits and operating leverage.
Key takeaways
- Credit growth accelerated and deposits continued to outpace credit growth, supporting management’s above-system growth objective.
- Management highlighted digital adoption, technology investment and a unified AI platform as supports for future operating leverage.
- Mortgage distribution is expanding, while the bank is seeking deeper liability penetration and a larger share of low-value deposits.
- The main watchpoints are margin pressure, deposit-market-share durability, regulatory matters and asset-quality risk.
Management priorities
- Scale the unified AI platform to additional use cases.
- Expand mortgage distribution and deepen liability penetration.
- Upgrade digital channels and increase the share of sub-INR 3 crore deposits.
- Use the technology stack to pursue operating leverage and higher ROA.
