4.2 HDFC Bank vs. ICICI Bank: Indian Banks Compared

HDFC and ICICI are major financial and banking services organizations in India. HDFC
stands for Housing Development Finance Corporation and ICICI is the Industrial Credit and
Investment Corporation of India. It was in the 1990s that the government of India decided
upon a policy of liberalization under the leadership of Narsimha Rao. This policy allowed
private banks to become established in India although small in number. The first among these
banks was Global Trust Bank after which various others like Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and
ICICI Bank emerged. This gave a boost to the banking sector in India..
ICICI Bank
ICICI is the largest private sector bank and 2nd largest bank overall in India. It was formerly
known as Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India. The bank has its presence all
over India and even abroad (Present in 18 countries) with more than 2000 branches and over
Page

HDFC BANK
5000 ATMs. It provides a host of banking services to both corporate and retail customers
apart from being fairly successful in life insurance (ICICI Prudential), venture capital (ICICI
Direct) and asset management. It is the largest home loan provider in the country. ICICI ranks
number one in providing credit cards in India. ICICI has a strong presence overseas and has
offices in 19 countries. ICICI has been notorious in employing goons for recovering its loans
from defaulters and has been pulled by different courts and consumer forums in this regard.
As far as differences between the two banks are concerned, both are equally popular
employing cutting edge technologies though ICICI seems to be ahead in aggressive branding
having Amitabh Bachchan as its brand ambassador.
HDFC Bank Ltd.

HDFC was among the first private sector banks set up in India after RBI allowed their
establishment in 1994. It was promoted by Housing Development Corporation of India, and
is still known as HDFC Bank. It was founded by Bibu Varghese and its headquarters are in
Mumbai. As of 2010, its operating incomes were $958 million and profit stood at $658
million. Times Bank Limited, and Centurion Bank of Punjab have merged with HDFC Bank

Page

HDFC BANK
HDFC Bank reported over 30 per cent y-o-y growth in net profit in the June '08 quarter. The
stability in earnings growth of HDFC Bank is much higher than that of ICICI Bank. The gap
in the profit growth between the two banks was not high till the March '08 quarter. But ICICI
started showing signs of a slowdown in its retail loan book in the March '08 quarter itself.
This was evident as HDFC Bank posted a growth of 39 per cent in its retail advances in
FY08, while ICICI managed to grow its retail advances by only 15 per cent (before
securitization). This shows that only better expense management helped ICICI to post high
profit growth in the quarter ended March '08.
