IDBI(BSE:IDBIBANK) is one of India's leading public sector banks and with 2008 net income of Rs 9415.9 Crores[1], India's 4th largest bank in overall ratings[2]. With 871 ATMs, 504 branches and 316 centers IDBI is currently the tenth largest development bank in the world in terms of the reach. IDBI grew total revenues of Rs 14,481 Crores in 2006 to Rs 17,923 Crores in 2008. Over a similar period, the company grew total assets from Rs 65,979 Crores in 2005 to Rs 120,601 Crores in 2008, an increse of 83.33%.[3]

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 rough markets. That said, the first quarter of 2009 was marked by strong loan growth of 31%. Despite a slow-down in recoveries from Rs100 Crores in Q1FY08 (Rs160 Crores in Q4FY08)[1], an ease in interest rates by the Reserve Bank of India helped increase net profit from Rs 160 Crores in Q2FY09 to Rs 226 Crores in Q3FY09.[1]

Business 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 as also for expansion, modernisation and diversification purposes. IDBI also provides indirect financial assistance by way of refinancing of loans extended by State-level financial institutions and banks and by way of rediscounting of bills of exchange arising out of sale of indigenous machinery on deferred payment terms. In September 2003, IDBI diversified its business domain further 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. The Pvt Bank was the fastest growing banking company in India. The bank was pioneer in adapting to policy of first mover in tier 2 cities. The Bank also had the least NPA and the highest productivity per employee in the banking industry.[1]. IDBI Bank was ranked in the Top 5 Indian banks on the basis of Business Segment size[4].
