The earnings call presented a mixed performance. While the bank showed strong deposit growth and stable credit metrics, it faced significant macroeconomic challenges and pressures on margins and credit costs. The bank is strategically managing liquidity and costs, but external conditions and declining CASA ratios are constraints.
Company Guidance
During the HDFC Bank Q3 FY'25 earnings call, several key metrics and guidance were discussed. The bank reported a robust average deposit growth of about 15%, significantly outpacing its loan growth, which saw an 8% year-on-year increase in AUM advances. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment marked by tight liquidity, the bank has maintained stable net interest margins (NIMs) and a cost growth of just 7% year-on-year, reflecting continued productivity gains. The bank's credit to deposit (CD) ratio has been a focal point, with ongoing efforts to normalize it, supported by a liquidity position that remained nearly neutral in Q3, with occasional peaks of negative INR 2 trillion to INR 2.5 trillion. The priority sector lending (PSL) targets were met at an aggregate level, though there is a minor shortfall in certain subcategories like smaller margin farmers. The bank's provisioning coverage ratio (PCR) stood at 68% overall but was higher at 71% excluding seasonal agricultural slippages. Additionally, the bank highlighted its strategic focus on maintaining a balanced growth trajectory with sufficient capital to capture market share as the macroeconomic environment stabilizes.
Strong Deposit Growth

Added over 1,000 new branches year-on-year, maintaining a tight control on costs with a 7% year-on-year growth in costs.
