Capital Adequacy:-

So why is the market worried?
RoA and RoE could get hit in the near term as the HDFC book comes with a lower NIM.
This is one of the major concerns for the market.
NIM erosion below 4% is a key concern for the market.
Aggressive expansion of branches by HDFC Bank
The bank envisions to be 1-2 km of clients rather than the current 5-6 Km
This could inflate costs for the bank in the near term and needs to be monitored
