IDBI Bank (BSE:IDBIBANK) is one of India's leading public sector banks and India's 4th largest bank in overall ratings.[1] With 871 ATMs, 504 branches and 316 centers IDBI is currently the tenth largest development bank in the world in terms of reach.

IDBI is hampered by its status as a public sector development bank. The company has weak core operations and net interest margins of <1%. A large part of the bank's equity holdings are in unlisted stocks and other illiquid investments that are difficult to sell in turbulent markets. However, IDBI Bank has managed to post strong profits, with the bank reporting net profit up 46% to Rs.251 Crore during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.[2]

Company Overview

IDBI, also known as Industrial Development Bank of India, was established in 1964 by an Act of Parliament to provide credit and other facilities for the development of the fledgling Indian industry. IDBI provides financial assistance, both in rupee and foreign currencies, for green-field projects, and expansion, modernization and diversification purposes. IDBI also provides indirect financial assistance by refinancing loans extended by State-level financial institutions and banks and by rediscounting bills of exchange arising out of sale of indigenous machinery on deferred payment terms.

In September 2003, IDBI diversified its business domain by acquiring the entire shareholding of Tata Finance Limited in Tata Home Finance Ltd., signaling IDBI’s foray into the IDBI Bank, with which the parent IDBI was merged, was a vibrant new generation Bank.

Trends and Forces

Publicly owned Indian banks lag behind private and foreign banks

New private banks in India generally have lower bank spreads and higher profitability than public banks.[7] The operating profit growth of public sector banks is reported to be a 9.53% versus 40% growth in operating profit of private banks and 36% in case of foreign banks.[8]

Bad legacy loan portfolio

IDBI has a bad legacy loan portfolio, which is currently locked in zero-yield government bonds under an agreement with the government. Loan recoveries on such long-standing NPLs are largely dependent on the value of the underlying land, which has fallen with the 2008 Financial Crisis[9][10]

In 2008, the company had Rs 822.58 Crores of non performing assets (NPAs) as compared to Rs 528.37 Crores in 2007.[11] The net NPAs to net Advances ratio also increased to 1.30% in 2008 as compared to 1.12% in 2007.[11]. In Q1FY09, IDBI witnessed a significant slow-down in recoveries to Rs 27 Crores as compared to Rs 100 Crores in Q1FY08 (Rs160 Crores in Q4FY08).[3]

Development bank subject to Reserve Bank interest rate control

IDBI is extremely sensitive to interest rates set by the Reserve Bank of India. As far back as 2003, the Reserve Bank of India raised interest rates to 14%. Around a similar time, IDBI saw its non performing asset ratio climb to 14% as its lendees struggled to meet payments.[12] More recently, an ease in interest rates by the Reserve helped increase net profit from Rs 160 Crores in Q2FY09 to Rs 226 Crores in Q3FY09.[3]

Competition

IDBI is the the tenth largest development bank in the world.[13] The company faces competition from both national banks and regional banks in the country.

  • State Bank of India (SBI-BY) (BSE:SBI), a public sector bank, is the largest bank in India.[14] Besides personal and corporate banking, SBI is also involved in NRI (Non Resident Indian) services through its network in India and overseas. The bank has 21 subsidiaries and 10,186 branches.[15]
  • Punjab National Bank is the largest nationalized bank currently serving 3.5 Crores customers.[16] Punjab National Bank has been ranked 38th amongst the top 500 companies by The Economic Times. PNB has earned 9th position among top 50 trusted brands in India.
  • Bank of India (BANKINDIA.EQ-IN) is a bank with headquarters in Mumbai. Government-owned since nationalization in 1969, it is one of India's leading banks with about 2,884 branches including 27 branches outside India.
  • [[HDFC Bank] (Housing Development Finance Corporation) is the second largest private sector bank in India by net profit.[17] Headquartered in Mumbai, the bank is one of the first private banks to be set up in India. With a network reach of 1412 branches spread over 528 cities across India and having over 2890 ATMs across these cities,[18] the bank is the largest private sector bank in terms of branch network in India leaving behind ICICI bank.[19]

Market Share

The Indian Banking sector is a fragmented market with 27 PSU banks, 25 private banks, 30 foreign banks and a host of cooperative and regional rural banks[20]. IDBI bank has a market share of 1.6%. SBI, being the largest bank in India[21] has a market share of 22.7%. The top 8 banks account for barely 54% of the market share with several smaller players occupying the remaining 44%.[20]
