ICICI Securities Report

IDFC First Bank Ltd.’s evolution is unique in a sense- on getting license, it was created out of demerger of infrastructure financing business followed by merger of erstwhile Capital First Ltd.

Stress build-up and franchise investment resulted in a weak return profile (net worth erosion) during the transition phase.

However, the new bank, with a new board, new management and renewed focus, has made significant strides in retailisation and granularisation of its business.

Current return profile is dragged by high-cost structure, low fee income and elevated credit cost.

Nonetheless, its marginal unit economics is superior and incremental retail disbursements have potential return on equity of more than 20%.
