electric vehicles have stormed the automotive sector and left the conventional automobile manufactures upset and bewildered, they face many questions as they have created many new problems as well.

Though these models were introduced in 2021 and 2022 respectively, they had to undergo certain updates much before the time.

Debadatta Chand, CEO & MD, Bank of Baroda, says the bank’s guidance on the NIM has been 3.15% plus-minus 5 bps. And the good part of this quarter, the June quarter results is that we maintain the NIM vis-a-vis the last year. The last full year NIM was 3.18 and if you look at the June quarter, it is 3.18. So, while there is cost pressure at the industry level, we have managed NIM positively. You have mentioned this 12-14% credit growth guidance for FY25. Considering the growth that you have witnessed this quarter, what is giving you the confidence that we will see a pickup? Debadatta Chand: In the current quarter also we slightly calibrated the advance growth based on the deposit growth. And if you look at the segment of the advances, like the retail is growing more than 20%, the agri and MSME is slightly less than 10%, the corporate was at 2.9%. But within the corporate segment also, the co-corporate which is non-institutional, the growth is 12%. Currently the pipeline is very strong for July onwards and there is a strong pipeline because we wanted to calibrate the corporate advance in line with the deposit which is again possibly better this quarter. Now we have good control over deposit costs. So, I think the guidance of 12-14% that we are giving is quite achievable. The budget is also supportive in terms of MSME growth and in that scenario and earlier also, we have demonstrated that we are growing higher than 12-13%. So that is achievable.

Mark Matthews, MD, Julius Baer, says he wishes there would be a pullback in the Indian market. It is becoming overvalued. Matthews further says that there does seem to be some sectoral rotation going on. In India, the growth is the opposite of what it is in the US. In the US, value is smallcaps and growth is big caps and in India, it is the other way around. I think there are a lot of emerging sectors in India that are small now but will be big sectors in the future like hospitality, defence which are in the midcap space and I would say those are the growth areas that long-term one would do well to be in. Everything is moving on expected lines and I look at the market from the prism of the US Fed. The US Fed pretty much has said what everybody was expecting, growth is decent and rate cuts will start. Mark Matthews: I did not expect them to be so overt in telling us there will be a rate cut in September. They did not need to because the market is already pricing one in. I felt that was interesting. There was no urgency in the statement or Jerome Powell's comments to the press but the most interesting thing is there was a sentence in the statement for two years saying that inflation was the most important criterion and that was replaced with the dual mandate of inflation, but also employment.
