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 banksNew 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 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[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 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.[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.
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]
