Leadership Change at HDFC Bank

In a significant leadership development, Mr V. Chakrapani, who was appointed Group Head – Change Agent on April 1, 2024, is set to retire on January 31, 2025. Over a 30-year tenure, he played a crucial role in shaping the bank’s growth and expansion across diverse business lines. The bank acknowledged his instrumental contributions in driving strategic transformation initiatives.

HDFC Bank Q3FY25 Financial Performance

HDFC Bank posted a 2.2% year-on-year (Y-o-Y) increase in net profit to ₹16,735.50 crore for Q3FY25, despite slower core income growth and higher slippages from agricultural loans.

Key Financial Metrics

  • Net Interest Income (NII): ₹30,650 crore (+7.7% Y-o-Y)
  • Other Income: ₹11,450 crore (Flat Y-o-Y)
  • Mark-to-Market Gain on Investments: ₹70 crore (vs ₹1,470 crore in Q3FY24)
  • Net Interest Margin (NIM): 3.43%, unchanged Y-o-Y but lower than 3.5% in Q2

HDFC Bank saw an improvement in provisioning, but asset quality deteriorated:

  • Provisions and Contingencies: ₹3,150 crore (vs ₹4,220 crore in Q3FY24)
  • Gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPA): ₹36,019 crore (vs ₹34,251 crore in Q2FY25 and ₹31,012 crore in Q3FY24)
  • GNPA Ratio: 1.42% (vs 1.36% in Q2FY25 and 1.26% in Q3FY24)

The rise in non-performing assets (NPAs) signals increased stress in loan quality, particularly from the agriculture segment.
