IDBI Bank's Short-Term Rating Reaffirmed at CARE A1+
CARE Ratings has reaffirmed IDBI Bank's short-term rating on its certificate of deposit programme at 'CARE A1+'. The rating is supported by improved asset quality, profitability, and strong capitalization. The bank reported a PAT growth of ~27% in FY26 due to provision reversals. Gross NPA ratio improved to 2.32% as of March 31, 2026.
A reaffirmation of a short-term rating is generally positive but routine for a bank. It reinforces confidence in the bank's short-term obligations but does not represent a significant new development for the company's overall valuation.
The reaffirmation of the 'CARE A1+' rating indicates a stable and positive outlook from the credit rating agency, driven by improvements in asset quality, profitability, and capitalisation.
IDBI Bank Limited has received a reaffirmation of its short-term rating for its certificate of deposit programme at 'CARE A1+' by CARE Ratings. The rating reflects the bank's improved asset quality and profitability, supported by reduced credit costs. It also factors in the bank's comfortable capitalization levels, increasing focus on retail lending, and a healthy, though declining, CASA deposit proportion.
The bank has maintained strong capitalization with a Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of 26.92% as of June 30, 2026. Significant equity infusion from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and the Government of India (GoI), along with Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) prior to FY21, has bolstered its capital base. The bank is expected to sustain business growth while maintaining adequate capitalization.
In FY26, the bank's Net Interest Margin (NIM) was compressed due to faster yield declines on advances than deposit costs, leading to a ~2% decrease in pre-provisioning operating profit (PPOP). However, profit after tax (PAT) grew by ~27% due to provision reversals. LIC acquired a majority stake in FY19, and GoI is the second-largest shareholder, with a stated intent for a strategic stake sale.
IDBI Bank's asset quality has improved, with Gross NPA ratio at 2.32% as of March 31, 2026, down from 2.98% a year prior. The provision coverage ratio (PCR) stood at 93.02% as of June 30, 2026. The bank's slippage ratio decreased to 0.78% for FY26 from 1.02% in FY25.
The bank's liquidity position remains strong, with a Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of 120.87% and a Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) of 115.61% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The asset-liability maturity profile is comfortable, with positive cumulative mismatches until the one-year time bucket.
