Bandhan Bank Ltd (BANDHANBNK) Q3FY26 Concall Summary - Dec-2025 Qtr
Performance Overview
- The bank demonstrated steady momentum in advances, driven by a strengthening secured loan book, which now constitutes 57% of the total portfolio.
- Asset quality showed marked improvement, with Gross NPA and Net NPA ratios declining significantly to 3.3% and 1.0% respectively, aided by a large sale of stressed assets to an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC).
- Margins improved sequentially, with NIM rising to 5.9%, benefiting from a reduction in the cost of funds as the bank strategically reduced high-cost bulk deposits.
- The Emerging Entrepreneurs Business (EEB), or microfinance portfolio, has stabilized, reversing a previous de-growth trend, with collection efficiency and slippages showing positive signs.
- Profitability was impacted by a one-off provision of 120 crore related to the implementation of new labour codes and additional provisions made to maintain the Provision Coverage Ratio (PCR) post the ARC sale.
