Geographic Revenue Split
The domestic book dominates operations, accounting for 98% of total advances as of September 30, 2025. The overseas book, including operations in the UK and Canada, contributes the remaining 2%. ICICI Bank Canada reported a profit of CAD 71.6 million in FY25.
Profitability Margins
Net Interest Margin (NIM) moderated to 4.08% in FY25 from 4.32% in FY24 due to higher interest expenses. However, Return on Assets (ROA) remained healthy at 2.4% for H1-FY26. Standalone Profit After Tax (PAT) increased 16% YoY to INR 47,227 Cr in FY25.
EBITDA Margin

Capital Expenditure
While traditional CAPEX is not the primary metric for banks, ICICI invested INR 500 Cr in ICICI Home Finance in FY25 and increased its stake in ICICI AMC to 53.0%. It also completed the acquisition of ICICI Securities, making it a 100% subsidiary as of March 24, 2025.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The bank maintains a strong credit profile with [ICRA]A1+ for certificates of deposit. Total Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) stood at 17.0% as of September 30, 2025, with a CET-1 ratio of 16.35%, well above the regulatory requirement of 11.70% and 9.70% respectively.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
For ICICI Bank, the 'raw material' is capital and deposits. Interest expenses on deposits and borrowings are the primary costs, with the average cost of deposits rising to 4.91% in FY25 from 4.61% in FY24.
Import Sources
Not applicable as the bank sources deposits primarily from the Indian domestic market (CASA and Term Deposits).
Key Suppliers
Not applicable; the bank relies on a granular retail and corporate depositor base rather than specific supplier companies.
Capacity Expansion
The bank expanded its physical reach to 7,246 branches and 10,610 ATMs/CRMs as of September 30, 2025, compared to 7,066 branches in June 2025, representing a steady infrastructure growth to support retail credit.
Raw Material Costs
Interest income rose 14.3% to INR 1,63,264 Cr, but was offset by rising interest expenses as the cost of deposits increased 30 basis points YoY to 4.91% in FY25.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Operational efficiency is reflected in the cost-to-income ratio of 38.64%. The bank maintains a high Provision Coverage Ratio (PCR) of 75.6% to mitigate asset quality risks.
Logistics & Distribution
Distribution is managed through its 7,246 branches and digital channels. Fee income from transaction banking and cards (INR 238.70 billion) reflects the scale of its distribution network.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
13%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be driven by the 'Customer 360-degree' approach, focusing on granular retail, rural, and business banking segments which already comprise 78% of the book. The bank is also unlocking value through the IPO of ICICI AMC (offering 48,972,994 shares) and the full integration of ICICI Securities.
Products & Services
Savings accounts, term deposits, residential mortgages (CAD 3,203 million in Canada), credit cards, personal loans, insurance policies (Life and General), and Margin Trading Facility (16% market share).
Brand Portfolio
ICICI Bank, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, ICICI Securities, ICICI Home Finance, ICICI Venture.
New Products/Services
The bank is expanding its 'Positive Impact' lending sectors, including renewable energy and electric vehicles, to align with ESG goals and capture emerging green finance markets.
Market Expansion
Focusing on micromarkets and ecosystems in India. The bank is also maintaining its presence in the UK and Canada to service NRI and cross-border corporate needs.
Market Share & Ranking
ICICI Bank is the second-largest private sector bank in India with a 7.4% market share in banking sector advances as of June 30, 2025.
Strategic Alliances
Partnership with Prudential Corporation Holdings Limited (PCHL) for ICICI AMC and ICICI Prudential Life. The bank recently acquired an additional 2% stake in ICICI AMC from PCHL.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The Indian banking sector is shifting toward digital-first delivery and ESG-linked lending. ICICI is positioned as a D-SIB (Domestic Systemically Important Bank), ensuring high regulatory oversight and stability.
Competitive Landscape
Competes primarily with HDFC Bank and SBI. ICICI maintains a competitive edge through its 7.4% market share and superior technology integration in retail segments.
Competitive Moat
The moat is built on its D-SIB status, a massive low-cost CASA base (40.9%), and a diversified financial services ecosystem (Insurance, AMC, Securities) that provides stable dividend income (INR 26.19 billion in FY25).
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to RBI repo rate changes; a rate cut in H1-FY26 helped ease the average cost of deposits to 4.75% from the FY25 average of 4.91%.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward term deposits (15% growth in FY25) as consumers seek higher yields, necessitating a focus on fee-based income to offset interest margin pressure.
Geopolitical Risks
Exposure to global economic conditions through ICICI Bank UK and ICICI Bank Canada, though these represent only 2% of the total loan book.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Subject to RBI's Master Direction on Investment Portfolio (2023), effective April 1, 2024, which changed the classification and valuation of HTM, AFS, and HFT categories.
Environmental Compliance
The bank has integrated ESG into lending, increasing the portfolio in renewable energy and green-certified real estate. CSR initiatives have impacted over 10 million beneficiaries.
Taxation Policy Impact
The bank follows Indian GAAP for standalone financials; effective tax rates are standard for Indian corporate banks.
Legal Contingencies
The bank faces standard banking litigation; however, no specific high-value pending court case amounts were disclosed in the provided documents.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Potential deterioration in asset quality could impact earnings; a decline in CET-1 below 11% on a sustained basis is a key rating sensitivity factor.
Geographic Concentration Risk
98% of the loan book is concentrated in India, making the bank highly sensitive to Indian macroeconomic and regulatory shifts.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on Prudential Corporation Holdings for insurance and AMC joint ventures, though ICICI has recently increased its control in these entities.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The bank mitigates this through continuous investment in digital channels and its 10,610 ATM/CRM network to maintain its 16% market share in MTF and other digital products.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Networth coverage for net NPAs was strong at 53.4 times as of September 30, 2025, indicating robust protection against counterparty defaults.
