South Ind.Bank (532218) Oct 2025 Filing Analysis
Does management do what it says?
The bank maintained the 79:21 ratio and explicitly stated that further progress is expected during the financial year. (3 met, 1 exceeded across 4 tracked commitments)
“79:21 – Tooth to Tail Ratio Further progress expected during the financial year”
NIM for the quarter stood at 2.86%, representing a 6 basis point sequential improvement from the previous trough. (3 met across 3 tracked commitments)
“So, what you see now at 2.8% is, to the best of our knowledge, the lowest ebb in terms of interest rates from a NIM perspective. We expect NIMs to recover going forward.”
Management confirmed they are heading towards a 33% corporate mix in the medium term. Currently, the corporate book is around 40%, and they are seeing a realignment as retail and MSME grow faster. (2 in progress across 2 tracked commitments)
“Our ambition is to grow this as quickly as possible. We have to, as over the next 18 months or so, we would like to bring the corporate book down to about third of our total book.”

What could break the thesis?
The bank ensured full transmission of the 100 basis points cut quickly, leading to yield compression. Management believes they have now hit the bottom of the rate cycle. (1 easing, 1 stable)
“The net interest income, the yield compression that you saw was an account of the reduction of the external benchmark rates... we ensured full transmission as quickly as possible so that we got to the bottom of the rate cycle.”
