IndusInd Bank Q1 results—Corporate lending dips 6%, drags advances, deposits
07 Jul 2025

IndusInd Bank has reported a mixed performance for the first quarter of FY26, with both advances and deposits declining by around 3% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ).

The bank's net advances fell to ₹3.34 lakh crore, largely due to a sharp 6.2% QoQ (14.4% YoY) decline in corporate banking.

However, the consumer lending segment saw a marginal decline of 0.9% QoQ but an annual growth of 4.8%.

CASA ratio declines to 31.49%
Deposit details

IndusInd Bank's deposits also fell by 3.3% QoQ and 0.3% YoY, with retail and small business deposits remaining largely stable.

The bank's current account savings account (CASA) ratio declined to 31.49% from 32.81% in the previous quarter, indicating a slight dip in the proportion of low-cost deposits in its overall deposit base.

CD ratio remains stable at 84.2%
Loan strategy

The decline in advances was mainly due to the bank's decision to sell off some of its corporate loans in a bid to maintain liquidity amid deposit outflows.

Despite this, the credit-deposit (CD) ratio remained stable at 84.2%, slightly up from 84% in the previous quarter.

This stability indicates that while both deposits and advances have decreased, they have done so at a similar rate.

Morgan Stanley maintains 'Underweight' rating
Market response

The brokerage cited a decline in high-margin loans and uncertainty around CEO succession as reasons for their stance.

On the other hand, Jefferies has given a 'Buy' recommendation with a price target of ₹920 per share, citing stability in retail deposits despite overall deposit decline.
