The positive changes what I have observed is the bank is in the process of image building. With the induction of Salim Gangadharan (ex-RBI) as the Chairman and Murali Ramakrishnan (ex-ICICI Bank) as the MD, one can except the bank in next 5 years will be a turn around story.

YoY gross advances are up 17 pc. Which is descent… IMO. Deposit growth is a drag. However share of CASA going up is a positive.
Proof of the pudding shall be in the asset quality trend which shall be out with the Qtly results.

Lets hope for the best.

Disc: holding a tracking position. Will add if asset quality keeps improving.

The new book has very low slippages.
With completely new management team at the top, the change in mindset is getting reflected in the high recoveries and good quality loan book.

With P/BV of 0.4 and given the tailwinds in banking sector, SIB may surprise.
