Hi Shruthi. Thanks for this info.
Can you please also tell the P/B , P/E post the equity raise. And how does it compare to the industry peers.

Also can you please tell why the PAT declined in Mar’25 vs Mar’24
Since total assets and revenue grew YOY, decline in PAT prima facie looks to because of higher provisions.

Can you please tell the NPA % for HDB book and it’s trend over the past few years.

Also the ROE, ROA and NIM for the past few years.

What would be HDFC Bank shareholding post the IPO and what is RBi mandate / glidepath for future shareholding by HDFC Bank.

Finally what % of the IPO shares are reserved for HDFC Bank shareholders

The above will help to make informed decision
Thanks a lot!
