I think there is very little upside, and risks are more to the downside than to the upside from current levels. In our view, there is stress in the vehicle finance portfolio, both from a growth as well as from an asset quality perspective in the near term. And we do believe earnings could be weaker, especially for vehicle finance, NBFCs in the near term, and HDB indeed has a good 50% of the mix exposed to various vehicle segments. So that’s the challenge here. And clearly it looks like there is not much money to be made from current levels based on our fair value assessment of HDB financial services, increasing risks to the downside.

Gross Stage 3 Loans amounted to 2.26% of Total Gross Loans as at March 31, 2025, which was an increase from 1.90% as at March 31, 2024

Customers may default on their repayment obligations or may delay payments due to various factors. HDB also experience a drop in collection efficiency.
