HDFC Bank Chairman asks private sector to do heavy lifting, cautions on global uncertainties
HDFC Bank Chairman Atanu Chakraborty on Friday said it's time for the private sector 'to do the heavy lifting' by innovating products, cutting costs and improving delivery, instead of waiting for demand to rise. Addressing the annual general meeting of the bank, Chakraborty also warned that there's a need to monitor the global developments closely, particularly for their potential impact on funding conditions, market stability and global economic outlook amid uncertainties on trade and geopolitics. 'Imposition of unilateral tariffs by a certain country is disturbing the global trade regime,' he said. 'Major economies showed signs of slowing down, with global GDP growth at 3.3 per cent for year 2024. The geopolitical tensions in several parts of the world continue to affect global supply chains and commodity prices,' Chakraborty said. The projected global growth by the IMF of 3.0 per cent for the year 2025, does not look robust, with the uncertainties on trade and geopolitics, he said. The HDFC Bank chairman said the drivers for growth would be low inflation and, in the medium term, impact of government spending on infrastructure and a large unmet demand for housing, particularly for affordable housing. 'Multiple domestic tailwinds are expected to support growth,' he said. The RBI has projected growth to be 6.5 per cent for FY26. What HDFC Bank chairman said about demand conditions On demand conditions, he said, 'we also witnessed softening of urban demand. Fixed investments stayed modest. Foreign capital inflows also weakened in the latter half of the year, reflecting global uncertainty.' 'Even so, domestic growth has found meaningful support in rural demand that is backed by favourable Monsoon conditions and a strong harvest. Exports grew by 6.3 per cent, led by services, with global capability centres continuing to expand,' he said. Construction and services remained robust, expanding above 9 and 7 per cent respectively. Manufacturing, however, showed a slowdown, Chakraborty said. 'India being a part of diversified global value chains, robust public digital infrastructure and consequent formalisation of the economy, provides a strong foundation for credit growth, in spite of external risks,' he said. The bank has a customer base of over 9.7 crore, and it serves them through 9,455 branches, 15,399 business correspondents and multiple digital channels. 'Over half of our branches are in the semi-urban and rural areas, facilitating wide coverage and accessibility to essential financial services,' he said. 'Almost 90 per cent of our branches are now actively offering home loans to customers,' he said. Meanwhile, the bank has lowered the MCLR by up to 5 basis points (bps) on select loan tenures.

SBI Q1 profit jumps 12.48% to Rs 19,160 crore
The country's largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI), on Friday reported a 12.48 per cent growth in its net profit at Rs 19,160 crore during the quarter ended June 2025, compared to Rs 17.035 crore in the year-ago period. 'There has been a good containment of operating expenses. Besides, on a year-on-year basis, our treasury gains have also added to profit,' Setty said. While the bank was able to maintain its core net interest income, it did not see a major fall in its net interest income (NII), despite almost 30 per cent of the book being repriced immediately on the external benchmark linked lending rate (EBLR) front, he said. Following a 100 basis points (bps) cut in the repo rate between February and June 2025, all loans linked to the repo rate have been reduced by a similar margin. The bank's non-interest income jumped 55 per cent, on back of a 352 per cent growth in forex income. The lender's net interest income fell marginally by 0.13 per cent to Rs 41,072 crore. Net interest margin (NIM) of the lender dropped by 33 basis points (bps) to 3.02 per cent in Q1FY26, compared to 3.35 per cent in the year-ago period. Setty said the growth in NIM is likely to be U-shaped, with moderation in Q1 and Q2, and pick up in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal. Gross non-performing loans (NPAs) improved to 1.83 per cent from 2.21 per cent, and net NPA stood at 0.47 per cent, as against 0.57 per cent. The bank's gross advances increased by 11.61 per cent to Rs 42,54,516 crore and domestic advances registered a growth of 11.06 per cent. Loans to small and medium enterprises (SME) grew by 19.1 per cent, followed by agri advances which rose 12.67 per cent. Retail personal advances grew by 12.56 per cent. The bank's corporate advances recorded a slower growth of 5.7 per cent on y-o-y basis and a quarter-on-quarter decline of 3 per cent. Setty attributed the muted growth in corporate loans to delay in investment decisions due to tariff related uncertainties, shift by companies from banks to market instruments for funding and on account of pre-payments. 'We have seen that the utilisation of working capital which was 62 per cent in Q1 of FY25 has come down to 58 per cent now. Also, we have seen that some of the large corporates are accessing the commercial paper (CP) market basically to replace the working capital limits,' the SBI chairman said. He expects the corporate loan book to grow at 10 per cent in the third quarter of FY26. The bank has a total corporate loan book pipeline of Rs 7 lakh crore. Commenting on the impact of the higher tariffs on the banking system, Setty said banks have limited exposure to sectors likely to be affected. These include leather, chemicals, footwear, gems and jewellery, textiles and shrimp. The bank's share price closed at Rs 804.55 apiece, down 0.09 per cent on Friday after the quarterly results were declared.

REVEALED! Why Trump is angry with India? Report reveals how PM Modi confronted US President during 35-minute phone call, chastised him for...
(File) Trump Tariffs: India-US relations have plunged to their lowest point in the last three decades after President Donald Trump slapped an additional 25% tariffs on Indian imports, raising the total levy to a staggering 50%. Experts believe that the reason behind the exorbitant tariffs goes beyond Trump's usual pressure tactics to force countries into a deal he deems beneficial, but is rooted in his anger towards India, which stems from a soured personal rapport with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. What PM Modi told Donald Trump? According to a Bloomberg report, the root of Trump's grudge against India, particularly his anger towards PM Modi, can be traced to the recent 35-minute phone conversation on June 17, during which the Indian Prime Minister reportedly gave a piece of his mind to the US President for repeatedly claiming to have mediated the India-Pakistan ceasefire in May this year. During the June 17 phone call, Modi chastised Trump for his mediation claim, and stated that the India-Pakistan ceasefire was reached upon bilaterally, without the mediation of any third party. The Indian Prime Minister also clarified New Delhi's stance on the India-Pakistan issue, stressing that India does not need or accept any third party mediation in the matter, and the policy will continue. How Munir's lunch with Trump worsened matters? As per the report, Trump's White House lunch date with Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir made matters worse, and Modi also clarified his position on Washington hosting Munir at Oval Office. PM Modi reportedly told Donald Trump that the Indian government and its leadership does have a problem with the US President meeting Pakistani government leaders, but objected to the Pakistani army chief being hosted at White House. However, Modi's concerns were brushed aside by Trump, the report said. Why PM Modi declined Trump's invite? The Trump-Modi phone call took place when the G-7 summit was underway in Canada. Trump had to leave the event because of the Iran-Israel war situation at the time, so the two leaders were unable to meet in person as the US President had left before PM Modi arrived. Later, while Modi was in Canada for the summit, Trump had asked him to visit the US and stay at the White House on his way back to India, but the India PM declined the invite, purportedly because he was apprehensive that Trump was plotting to arrange a forced meeting between him and Asim Munir. According to geopolitical analysts, these events hurt Trump's ego, which resulted in him weaponizing tariffs as a means to settle a personal vendetta against India and Modi. Trump doubles tariffs on India On Wednesday, Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing an additional 25 percent tariffs on Indian goods, raising the total levy to 50%. The US President called the additional tariffs on India as a 'punishment' for purchasing Russian oil and weapons, as he accused New Delhi of 'funding' Moscow's war on Ukraine. 'I find that the Government of India is currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil. Accordingly, and as consistent with applicable law, articles of India imported into the customs territory of the United States shall be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent,' the order reads.
