Commenting on the performance, Mr. Sumant Kathpalia, Managing Director & CEO, IndusInd Bank said: “The Indian economy showed significant resilience against the impact of Covid -19 and had begun recovering in a gradual manner. While that momentum may have reduced due to the onset of a second wave, the mass vaccination drive should help getting things back on track. We look forward to participating in this journey with a strengthened balance sheet during the year. During FY21, as well as Q4, the Bank witnessed healthy growth in its top line as well as in its Pre-Provision Operating Profits. For the quarter, our net profit improved to Rs. 926 crores in Q4-FY 21 from Rs. 830 crores in
Q3-FY 21. The Bank has conservatively built a strong Provision Cover 75% resulting in a Net NPA of 0.69% compared to previous year of 0.91%. The bank is also carrying significant buffers outside these provisions as a prudent measure. Our areas of domain expertise such as vehicle finance, micro-finance and diamond finance have witnessed strong disbursements and we expect the growth to become further broad-based in the current financial year.”
