Indusind Bk Q1 net drops 72 pc; assures no more financial impact of past frauds
PTI
Mumbai, Jul 28 (PTI) Private sector lender Indusind Bank on Monday reported a 72 per cent drop in its consolidated net profit for the June quarter to Rs 604 crore, and assured that there will not be any more financial impact of past frauds.
The bank, which is reeling under a slew of issues stemming from alleged irregularities of the top management in recognising bad loans and trading reverses, had reported a net profit of Rs 2,171 crore in the year-ago period.
It had reported a loss of Rs 2,329 crore in the preceding March quarter, and the interim management, which has taken over operations of the business after the resignation of leadership including then chief executive Sumant Kathpalia, had said that all the possible impacts are recognised.
Total income dropped to Rs 14,420.80 crore in the April-June quarter of FY26 compared to Rs 14,988.38 crore in the year-ago period.
IndusInd Bank Chairman Sunil Mehta said the bank has delivered 'clean and profitable" results in the June quarter, marking a 'robust recovery" from the March quarter.
'We have delivered Q1 results without any carry over of the prior period irregularities. Financial impact of legacy issues is behind us," Mehta told analysts over a call.
There was no impact of the legacy issues in the first quarter results as well, he said, adding that the interim management is working to restore the lost ground so that the entity can perform to its potential.
Time was spent by the management in resolving the concerns on the microfinance and the treasury side which had led it to admit fraud as well, he said, specifying that it includes upping governance and transparency, and also improving board oversight on the MFI side, while on the treasury front, it has upped the system and stopped internal deals.
The bank is also progressing well on the appointment of a full-time chief executive and awaiting regulatory approval on the candidates it has sent, he said, adding that efforts to build a senior management team from both the internal talent of over 45,000 people and external ones, is also on simultaneously.
The board has also outlined a five-point strategy for bettering the performance going ahead, which includes reducing deposit rate offerings, pulling away from low margin business and stringent cost management, he said.
Mehta said the bank is planning to more than halve the overall operating expenses growth to single digits from the 20 per cent level it has witnessed in each of the last five years. Apart from this, the incoming CEO will come out with a detailed strategic roadmap.
During the reporting quarter, the lender's core net interest income also declined to Rs 4,640 crore from Rs 5,408 crore a year ago. The advances de-grew 4 per cent on year, and the margins were lower by 0.79 per cent on-year.
Deposits de-grew 3 per cent as it shed the higher-cost wholesale or bulk deposits.
Decline in fee and other income was relatively limited, with the overall number dropping to Rs 2,157 crore from Rs 2,442 crore in the year-ago period.
The gross non-performing assets ratio for the lender increased to 3.64 per cent in June against 3.13 per cent in March, but the provisions declined on-quarter to Rs 1,760 crore from Rs 2,522 crore. The fresh slippages nearly halved to Rs 2,567 crore on-quarter, and included Rs 2,322 crore of consumer bank.
The management said the bank continues to be cautious on the microfinance business, and does not expect growth till Q3 of FY26. However, unlike its larger rival Kotak Mahindra Bank, it does not see any stress in the construction vehicles business and will be working towards growing it as the slippages will be lower in FY26 than the fiscal-ago period.
The overall capital adequacy of the lender stood at 16.63 per cent as of June 30, and included a core buffer of 15.48 per cent, and the management said they have not heard any progress on the promoters' move to increase stake.
Indusind Bank shares closed 2.62 per cent down at Rs 802.15 on BSE ahead of the results announcement, as against a 0.70 per cent correction on the benchmark Sensex. PTI AA MR

Centre spent Rs 1,500 crore on ministry rent, not anymore: PM at Kartavya Bhavan
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday inaugurated the Kartavya Bhavan at Kartavya Path in Delhi. PM inaugurated Kartavya Bhavan, calling it the seed of Viksit Bharat Old ministry buildings from 1950s-70s are being replaced due to structural inefficiency Facility includes modern amenities and large conference spaces for government use Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday inaugurated Kartavya Bhavan at Kartavya Path in New Delhi, pointing out that many central ministries were functioning from different locations across the national capital, with several housed in rented buildings. He revealed that the government was spending Rs 1,500 crore solely on rent. "Many ministries of the Indian government are being run from 50 different locations in Delhi. Most of these ministries are being run from rented buildings, with an annual expenditure of Rs 1.5 thousand crores. This amount is being spent by the central government just to pay rent," he said. PM Modi pointed out that the country's administrative machinery had been operating for decades after Independence from buildings constructed during the British era. He further highlighted the poor working conditions in the existing buildings, stating that they lacked proper lighting, space, and ventilation. "Can you imagine an important ministry like Home Affairs operating out of a building for nearly 100 years with insufficient resources?" the PM asked. He further said that the newly-inaugurated Kartavya Bhavan is not a mere structure or a piece of infrastructure, but that the seed of Viksit Bharat will be sown from this building. "In the coming decades, the direction of the country will be determined from this building," said PM Modi. Quoting from the Bhagavad Gita, PM Modi said that we must focus more on our kartavya (duty) than on the end result while carrying out our tasks. The ambitious project is aimed at bringing ministries and departments under one roof for efficiency. Kartavya Bhavan-03, the first to be inaugurated, will house the Home Affairs, External Affairs, Rural Development, MSME, DoPT, Petroleum & Natural Gas ministries, and the Principal Scientific Adviser's office. Many key ministries currently function from ageing buildings like Shastri Bhawan, Krishi Bhawan, Udyog Bhawan, and Nirman Bhawan, constructed between the 1950s and 1970s, which are now "structurally outdated and inefficient," according to the government. The prime minister, accompanied by Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Ministry Secretary HUA Secretary Katikithala Srinivas, took a tour of the newly constructed building. Srinivas briefed PM Modi about the features of Kartavya Bhavan. The HUA Ministry has plans to construct ten buildings as part of the Common Central Secretariat (CCS) under the government's Central Vista redevelopment project. Two CCS buildings, 1 and 2, are scheduled to be completed by next month, while construction work on CCS 10 will be finished by April next year. The project of CCS buildings 6 and 7 will be completed by October 2026. On Tuesday, Khattar said that offices functioning from the four bhawans will shift to four new locations on Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Minto Road, and Netaji Palace temporarily for two years, while the construction is carried out. A few buildings are currently proposed to be retained. These include the National Museum, National Archives, Jawaharlal Nehru Bhawan (External Affairs Ministry), and Dr Ambedkar Auditorium, which are new buildings. Vanijya Bhawan will also be retained. Under the Central Vista redevelopment plan, the government has already constructed a new Parliament building and the Vice President Enclave, and redeveloped the Kartavya Path that spans from Vijay Chowk to India Gate. Besides the Common Central Secretariat, the government will also construct an Executive Enclave that will house a new Prime Minister's Office (PMO), Cabinet Secretariat, India House, and National Security Council Secretariat. Under the second phase of the Executive Enclave, a new prime minister's residence will be constructed. The plinth area of the Kartavya Bhavan-03 is 1.5 lakh square metres with a basement area of 40,000 square metres. Its parking lot can accommodate 600 cars. The HUA ministry said the Kartavya Bhavan-03 has a creche, a yoga room, a medical room, a cafe, a kitchen, and a multipurpose hall. It has 24 main conference rooms, each with a capacity to seat 45 people, 26 small conference rooms, each with a capacity to seat 25 people, 67 meeting rooms, and 27 lifts.

It's a goldmine. Why Trump co can give Prez a realty check on ‘dead economy'
Gurgaon: Forget politics and diplomacy, US President Donald Trump's "dead economy" jibe at India while warning of higher tariffs wouldn't stand up to scrutiny in his family-run company. The Indian market has proved a real estate goldmine for The Trump Organization, which has entered into partnerships with Indian developers for premium ventures. One of those is its flagship project in the north – Trump Towers Delhi NCR in Sector 65, for which it is in a joint venture with Mumbai-based Tribeca, the exclusive Indian partner for Trump-branded projects, and Gurgaon-based M3M. Spread across 2.8 acres, Trump Towers features two towers housing 250 luxury apartments priced between Rs 5 crore and Rs 9 crore. On launch day, 20 units worth Rs 150 crore were sold. Since then, the project – which was launched with fanfare in 2018 and had Donald Trump Jr flying in for the occasion – has clocked over Rs 2,000 crore in bookings and is due for possession in the coming months, according to sources associated with the project. You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon Riding this success, the Trump brand announced its second city venture this May — Trump Residences in Sector 69. In the joint venture for this one are Tribeca and M3M subsidiary Smartworld. The project features two 51-storey towers with 298 residences. Prices here start at Rs 8 crore and go up to Rs 15 crore, with premium penthouses reaching Rs 125 crore. The project, according to the companies, is sold out and has netted Rs 3,250 crore in revenue. When it's ready, it will make Gurgaon the only city other than New York to host two Trump-branded residential towers. The national capital region is likely to see a third Trump-branded project with plans to launch Trump Towers at Sector 94 in Noida. Eric Trump, executive VP of The Trump Organization and the US president's son, had said in a statement in May, "We're incredibly excited to launch our second project in Gurgaon, and even prouder to be doing it once again with our amazing partners at Tribeca, M3M & Smartworld. The fact that we're expanding in this remarkable city speaks volumes — not just about the strength of the Trump brand in India, but also about the exceptional partnership we've built and the tremendous confidence The Trump Organization has in Gurgaon's future. With this new development, we've pushed the boundaries of luxury like never before. I'm confident that Trump Residences Gurgaon will stand among the most iconic and spectacular properties in our global portfolio." Tribeca has been managing branding, design, quality and sales across all Trump Organization projects. Smartworld is in charge of development and customer experience for the Sector 69 project, while M3M India is the execution partner for both the Sector 65 Trump Towers and the planned project in Noida. This is how the JVs function, with Indian developers taking care of the brick-and-mortar aspect of a project and The Trump Organization providing the branding, service templates and, of course, global reach. A buyer of a Trump Residences house who TOI spoke to said as a lifestyle brand, he could not think of anything better. "This cost a steep Rs 30,000 per square foot. But when you look at the trajectory of the first Trump Tower in Gurgaon, which launched at Rs 16,000 per sq ft and is now reselling at Rs 30,000 per sq ft, it becomes clear that this brand carries serious equity. It's a statement of both lifestyle and foresight." The real estate portfolio of The Trump Organization extends to Mumbai, Pune – where it launched its first commercial venture earlier this year – Kolkata, and Hyderabad. India is its largest market outside the US.
