IDBI Bank's Long-Term Debt Rating Reaffirmed 'AA+' by CRISIL
CRISIL Ratings reaffirms IDBI Bank's long-term debt rating at 'AA+/Stable' and short-term rating at 'A1+'. The ratings reflect improving asset quality, healthy profitability, and strong capitalisation. Expected support from LIC and GoI until divestment completion is factored in. Gross/net NPAs improved to 2.3%/0.2% as of June 30, 2026.
A credit rating reaffirmation is important for investor confidence and borrowing costs, but it does not represent a significant change in the bank's fundamental operations or immediate financial performance.
The reaffirmation of 'AA+' rating by CRISIL indicates a stable and positive outlook for IDBI Bank's debt instruments, driven by strong financial performance and expected government support.
CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed IDBI Bank Limited's ratings on its long-term debt instruments at 'Crisil AA+(Fixed Deposits) /Crisil AA (Long-term Bonds) /Stable' and its short-term rating on the certificate of deposit programme at 'Crisil A1+'. The ratings reflect the bank's steady improvement in asset quality, healthy profitability, stable deposit base, and strong capitalisation. Furthermore, the ratings continue to factor in the expected support from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and the Government of India (GoI) until the divestment process is completed.
The bank's capital adequacy ratios remain robust, with Tier-I and overall CAR (under Basel III) at 26.4% and 26.9% respectively as of June 30, 2026. Net profit for fiscal 2026 was ₹9,513 crore, with a Return on Average Total Assets (RoA) of 2.2%. Gross and net NPA ratios improved to 2.3% and 0.2% respectively as of June 30, 2026. CRISIL has also withdrawn ratings on Tier-II Bonds (under Basel III) of ₹1,900 crore and Omni Bonds of ₹1,000 crore on redemption and at the bank's request.
CRISIL expects the bank's earnings profile to remain healthy, supported by controlled credit costs. However, the sustenance of healthy growth in overall advances remains a monitorable factor. As of June 30, 2026, LIC held a 49.24% stake and GoI held 45.48% in IDBI Bank. CRISIL will continue to monitor developments regarding the stake sale by GoI and LIC and its impact on the bank's ratings.
