However, total deposits fell 10% sequentially to ₹1,24,813 Cr as the bank tactically shed wholesale deposits following the ₹29,253 Cr capital infusion from Emirates NBD on June 18, 2026. This tactical move resulted in a sharp decline in the CASA ratio from 33.6% in March 2026 to 29.2% in June 2026. Despite the deposit drop, liquidity remains healthy with a Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of 133%.
Confidence: HIGH
What changedThe bank's balance sheet is undergoing a structural shift post-Emirates NBD investment, characterized by a tactical reduction in high-cost wholesale deposits and a pivot toward wholesale and commercial lending.
Why it mattersWhile the capital infusion provides a massive growth buffer, the sharp 440 bps QoQ drop in the CASA ratio indicates a potential increase in the cost of funds, which could pressure margins in the short term.

📅 Short termThe market may react cautiously to the sequential decline in deposits and the sharp drop in CASA, although the bank has provided a liquidity-based justification.
📈 Long termThe bank is positioned for high growth (30% target) with a strong capital base; the long-term success depends on its ability to rebuild its low-cost retail deposit base while scaling corporate lending.

- Sharp 22% sequential decline in CASA deposits
- Increasing reliance on wholesale lending (45% of mix)
- Potential NIM compression due to lower CASA ratio

Total deposits declined 10% QoQ to ₹1,24,813 Cr due to tactical non-renewal of wholesale deposits.
