India Ratings Affirms IDBI Bank's Fixed Deposits at 'IND AA'/Stable
India Ratings affirmed IDBI Bank's Fixed Deposits rating at 'IND AA/Stable' and Certificate of Deposits at 'IND A1+'. The agency has withdrawn ratings for senior debt, Omni Infrastructure bonds, and Basel III-compliant Tier II bonds. The affirmation is based on the bank's strong capitalisation, stable deposit franchise, improving asset quality, and retail focus.
The affirmation of credit ratings is positive but routine for a financial institution. The withdrawal of ratings for certain debt instruments is noted but does not significantly alter the bank's immediate operational or financial standing.
The affirmation of 'IND AA/Stable' for Fixed Deposits and 'IND A1+' for Certificate of Deposits by India Ratings indicates a positive outlook on the bank's creditworthiness and financial stability.
India Ratings has affirmed IDBI Bank's Fixed Deposits rating at 'IND AA/Stable' and its Certificate of Deposits rating at 'IND A1+'. The rating agency has also withdrawn ratings for Senior debt, Omni Infrastructure bonds, and Basel III-compliant Tier II bonds.
The affirmation reflects the bank's comfortable capitalisation, a stable and granular deposit franchise with a strong Current Account and Savings Account (CASA) profile, improving asset quality metrics, and a retail-focused loan portfolio. The bank's profitability improved in FY26, driven by healthy margins, declining credit costs, and controlled operating expenses, leading to improved internal capital generation.
The ratings consider the bank's comfortable capital base, with the common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio improving to 26.38% in 1QFY27. The bank's CASA deposit ratio stood at 43.64% in 1QFY27. Asset quality metrics continued to improve, with gross non-performing assets (NPAs) declining to 2.30% and net NPAs at 0.16% in 1QFY27. The bank continues to focus on retail loans, which accounted for 70% of its advances as of 1QFY27.
Key rating drivers include a comfortable capital position, stable deposit franchise with strong CASA, improving trend in asset quality, continued retail focus, and an improved profitability profile. Weaknesses noted are the unresolved home loan business issue and an RBI extension in place. The bank's liquidity coverage ratio stood at 120.87% in 1QFY27, well above the regulatory requirement.
