The Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was amongst the first to
receive an 'in principle' approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a bank in
the private sector, as part of the RBI's liberalization of the Indian Banking Industry in 1994.The
bank was incorporated in August 1994 in the name of 'HDFC Bank Limited', with its
registered office in Mumbai, India. HDFC Bank commenced operations as a Scheduled
Commercial Bank in January 1995.
HDFC is India's premier housing finance company and enjoys an impeccable track record
in India as well as in international markets. Since its inception in 1977, the Corporation has
maintained a consistent and healthy growth in its operations to remain the market leader in
mortgages. Its outstanding loan portfolio covers well over a million dwelling units. HDFC has
developed significant expertise in retail mortgage loans to different market segments and also
has a large corporate client base for its housing related credit facilities. With its experience in
the financial markets, a strong market reputation, large shareholder base and unique consumer
franchise, HDFC was ideally positioned to promote a bank in the Indian environment.
HDFC Bank began operations in 1995 with a simple mission: to be a“World Class Indian
Bank.” We realized that only a single minded focus on product quality and service excellence
would help us get there. Today, we are proud to say that we are well on our way towards that
goal.
Whilst credit growth in the banking system slowed down to about 22% for the year ended
2007-08, the Bank’s net advances grew by 35.1% with retail advances growing by 38.6% and
wholesale advances growing by 30%, implying a higher market share in both segments.
The transactional banking business also registered healthy growth with cash management
volumes increased by around 80% and trade services volumes by around 40% over the previous
year.
Portfolio quality as of March 31, 2008 remained healthy with gross nonperforming assets at
1.3% and net non-performing assets at 0.4% of total customer assets. The Bank’s provisioning
policies for specific loan loss provisions remained higher than regulatory requirements.
