Advances & Borrowings Mix

Advances Mix

• As we have seen above, the gross loan book of HDFC Ltd has seen a growth of 11.7% Y-o-Y and 2.4% Q-o-Q.
• About 76% of its loan book comprises individual ie. retail loans and the remaining is corporate loans which includes commercial real estate loans, lease rental discounting, etc.
• The major share in the gross loan book is of individual loans and it is increasing consistently year-on-year as well as quarter-on-quarter basis. Individual loans are contributing around 69%, 71% and 72% of the total gross loan book for the quarters Q2 FY19, Q1 FY20 and Q2 FY20 respectively.
• On the other hand, corporate loans contribute around 26% of gross loan book in Q2 FY20, with a consistent decrease in its share in gross loan book, ie from 27% in Q1 FY20 and 29% in Q2 FY19.
• Given the uncertainty and risk averseness in the lending environment for corporate or non-individual loans, the company opted to be prudent by imposing the restrictions on the segment. The slackened corporate loan growth is in-line with company’s stance of scaling down riskier portfolio.
• Almost 76% of the loan book composition is tilted in favor of individual segment on which we can expect significant increase in competition in the housing loan space from banks. Thus, there will be increased competitiveness in the individual loans segment. As a result, the overall gross loan book growth will get impacted with continuous reduction in the corporate loan growth.

Borrowing Mix

• HDFC Ltd’s total Borrowings are comprised of :
  1. Term Loans
  2. Bonds/Debentures/Commercial Papers and
  3. Deposits
• As we can see from the above graph, there is a gradual increase in the share of Term Loans from 18% to 23% to 22% in the quarters Q2 FY19, Q1 FY20 and Q2 FY20 respectively.
