Commenting on the performance, Romesh Sobti, MD & CEO, IndusInd Bank said,” 2019 is a milestone year for us, as IndusInd Bank completes 25 years of operations. In FY 19, as well as Qtr4, while the Bank has witnessed robust growth in its topline as well as in operating profits, aggressive one time provisioning for a Group exposure in the infrastructure sector depressed the bottom line. We are now pushing forward into FY20 basis our strong belief in new opportunities in the banking markets, especially in rural India, which is our next frontier. Our upcoming merger with Bharat Financial Inclusion Limited, which is now in its final stage, will be a critical step in this direction. This gives us a strong platform towards catering to the growing financial needs of the rural Indian market, and will be one of the big pillars of our growth in the near future.
