Criticism


Being relatively new in the industry, Axis Bank still has several areas that it needs to work and improve on:
  • As compared to most of its competitors, Axis Bank has a much lower number of branches and ATMs across India.
  • Given the immense competition in this sector, the bank has a limited market share and needs to fight to keep it.

COVID-19 Impact


In the March quarter of 2019-2020, Axis Bank had reported a standalone net loss of Rs 1,387.78 crore, as compared to the net profit of over Rs. 1,500 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. When compared to the previous year, provisions for bad loss and contingencies had almost tripled, moving from Rs 2,711.43 crore to Rs 7,730.02 crore. However, Net NPAs or bad debts came down from 2.06% to 1.56% while income had increased to Rs 20,786.23 crore.

Future Prospects


Leaning on their modern approach to marketing, Axis Bank can target a larger market share through its online services and products, making it seamless and convenient to the urban India. Moreover, the bank can expand further into both, the rural areas of India and foreign markets, to help its growth.
