WIKI ANALYSISIDBI(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.

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 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].

Key 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.[14] 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.[13]
Bad legacy loan portfolioIDBI 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[15][16]
In 2008, the company had Rs 822.58 Crores of non performing assets (NPAs) as compared to Rs 528.37 Crores in 2007.[17] The net NPAs to net Advances ratio also increased to 1.30% in 2008 as compared to 1.12% in 2007.[17]. 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).[1]
Development bank subject to Reserve Bank interest rate controlIDBI 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.[18] 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.[1]
Competition IDBI is the the tenth largest development bank in the world.[19] The company faces competition from both national banks and regional banks in the country.
