--CNBC-TV18: IndusInd Bk MD: Don't see need to raise capital in short term
NEW DELHI - IndusInd Bank is unlikely to raise capital in the near term, with the bank adequately capitalised, the lender's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Rajiv Anand said in an interview to CNBC-TV18 Tuesday. "At this point in time, IndusInd Bank doesn't require capital. I don't see us raising capital in the short term," Anand said. The bank's capital adequacy ratio was 16.63% at the end of June and the average liquidity coverage ratio during Apr-Jun was 141%, higher than the regulatory requirement of 100%.
This was the first time Anand spoke to the media after being appointed MD, CEO of IndusInd Bank in August. Anand said there are retirements coming up in the next six months among the bank's senior team.
Anand was appointed after the bank faced several exits at the senior management level since late April, including the then MD and CEO Sumant Kathpalia, after the lender reported discrepancies in its derivatives accounting and microfinance loan portfolio in 2024-25 (Apr-Mar). It has said the irregularities in the microfinance book were fraud committed against the bank.
Anand told the television news channel that IndusInd Bank will work towards re-building trust with regulators and investors. The bank should be able to re-gain "pre-eminent status" over the next three years.
He said the second half of 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) is expected to be better for the microfinance industry, which should be positive for IndusInd Bank. The bank's net profit had declined 68% on year to INR 6.84 billion for the June quarter as provisions increased by nearly 66%. End
