The IPO’s qualified institutional buyers’ category was subscribed 1.62 times while the non-institutional investors’ category was subscribed 2.94 times. The retail individual investors’ category was subscribed 6.48 times.
Speaking at a virtual media round-table on Thursday, Krishnan Sankarasubramaniam, MD and CEO of the bank, said; “ my preliminary view is that it (the listing) is good given the market condition of the day. Basically, it all depends on the demand and supply, I expect a further pick-up in the days to come.”
He said the bank will soon come up with a comprehensive plan for network expansion, which had been held back by the Reserve Bank of India. “We are in the process of board-level deliberations on the same. We will be focusing on the digital front more and will adopt a phygital business model, so that we can use the manpower for better purpose such as marketing and recovery,” he said.
On the advances front, Sankarasubramaniam said the bank will continue to focus on the RAM (retail, agri and MSME) segment. “In the case of corporate lending, we will be very selective as was the case earlier too,” he said.
TMB has a network of 509 branches, 369 of which are in Tamil Nadu. The state contributes to about 70% of the bank’s business. The RAM segment contributes to 88.14% of the lender’s loan asset size.
TMB’s gross non-performing assets in 2021-22 stood at 1.69% as against 3.44% in 2020-21, while net NPA was at 0.95% compared to 1.98% in 2020-21.
Sankarasubramaniam said the bank will also work to enhance underwriting standards, monitoring mechanisms and on ways to gear up the recovery models so that it can improve asset quality. The bank will continue with the legacy of being a traders’ bank post the listing on the bourses, he said.
