Commenting on the performance, Sumant Kathpalia, Managing Director & CEO, IndusInd Bank said: “The country saw resurgence of the Covid wave during Q3. The economic impact however has not been as severe due to effective policy responses as well as ongoing vaccination program. The Bank too, saw continued traction on operating performance metrics. Our loan book grew by 10%YoY driven by healthy growth in most of the customer segments. Our deposits grew ahead of loans at 19% YoY with current and savings account deposits growing 24% YoY. Our Net Interest Margins improved to 4.10% supported by continued reduction in cost of deposits. With healthy operating profit margins and falling provisions, our profit after tax grew 8% QoQ and 50% YoY to ₹1,242 crores for Q3. The GNPA and NNPA ratios improved QoQ to 2.48% and 0.71% respectively, with a comfortable provision coverage ratio of 72%. While the Covid remains a risk to watch out for, the implications of the recent wave on our businesses have been limited. We are thus committed to executing our strategy quarter on quarter.”
