April 2 (Reuters) - India's bank stocks dropped to their lowest levels in nearly a year on concerns over potential losses after the central bank intensified its crackdown on speculative activity in the rupee.

The Nifty Bank index .NSEBANK slid as much as 2.8% to 50,004.30 points - its lowest level since April 9, 2025 - with all constituents trading lower.

The index has fallen 4.3% this week following the Reserve Bank of India's curbs, underperforming the benchmark Nifty 50 .NSEI, which is down 2.6%.

On Wednesday, the RBI barred banks from offering rupee non-deliverable forwards to resident and non-resident clients, days after it put a limit of $100 million on banks' net open rupee positions.

Jefferies said banks were hoping to mitigate losses stemming from the initial measures by transferring or selling part of their positions to corporates, hedge funds and other clients.

The fresh curbs may bring the losses back to original estimates or a tad higher at 40 billion rupees to 50 billion rupees ($428.05 million-$535.07 million), the brokerage said.

The RBI's measures come as the rupee INR=IN has hit a string of all-time lows on worries over spillovers from the Iran war. The currency fell 4.24% in March, its worst monthly drop in six years, before the latest curbs helped it rise 1.4% to 93.53 per U.S. dollar in early trade on Thursday.

Private lenders HDFC Bank HDBK.NS and ICICI Bank ICBK.NS dropped 1.4% each on Thursday, while state-run banks logged sharper losses. State Bank of India SBI.NS was down 2.9%, while Punjab National Bank PNBK.NS, Canara Bank CNBK.NS and Union Bank of India UNBK.NS lost 3.4%, 3.6% and 3.9%, respectively.

Jefferies expects banks to book part of their losses in the January-March and April-June quarters, and said foreign lenders account for 45% of the currency derivatives market and related losses, while private banks have a 40% share.

MUMBAI, March 20 (Reuters) - Indian Bank INBA.NS is turning to longer-duration bond funding as it seeks to support stronger credit growth and capital needs, with weak deposit traction and a spike in bulk deposit rates squeezing its funding mix, MD and CEO Binod Kumar told Reuters.

The state-run lender will issue seven-year infrastructure bonds worth 50 billion rupees ($537.25 million) next week and has already held discussions with long-term investors, including the Employee Provident Fund Organisation, which has been an active buyer in recent bank bond issuances.

Reuters reported on Wednesday that the bank is likely to launch a seven-year or 10-year infrastructure bond sale before the end of March.

"Credit growth will pick up in the last month of the financial year, so instead of going for certificates of deposit that are very expensive at the moment, we decided to take the infra bond route," Kumar said on Thursday.

Indian Bank expects the cutoff yield for its upcoming bond issue to be in the 7.11% to 7.24% range.

Earlier in the week, the lender raised three-month funding at 7.23%, about 28 basis points higher than levels at the start of the month, underscoring rising funding costs.

This will mark the bank's first bond market issuance in more than 17 months. In October 2024, it raised 50 billion rupees via 10-year infrastructure bonds at a 7.12% coupon. The bank currently has 100 billion rupees of such bonds outstanding.

The planned issuance follows a broader pickup in infrastructure bond fundraising, with Union Bank of India set to raise 75 billion rupees through 10-year bonds later in the day.

Earlier in the month, Bank of Baroda raised 100 billion rupees through seven-year bonds at 7.10%, with the issue witnessing aggressive bids.

The state-run lender has invited coupon and commitment bids from bankers and investors on Friday.

MUMBAI, Oct 3 (Reuters) - At least four major state-owned Indian banks have increased their internal limits for investing in state bonds following discussions with the Reserve Bank of India last month, according to five treasury officials aware of the decisions.

Bank of Baroda BOB.NS, Punjab National Bank PNBK.NS, Canara Bank CNBK.NS and Union Bank of India UNBK.NS - among India's top five government-owned lenders by assets - have raised their investment caps by 5 to 20 percentage points, the sources said.

"Most of the top five-six banks barring one have raised the internal cap that they had set for taking exposure to state debt in treasury books after a round of consultations and meetings with the central bank," one of the officials said.

The sources requested anonymity as they are not authorised to speak to media. The banks did not respond to emailed queries.

Indian banks, including both private and public sector entities, are significant buyers of state-issued bonds, collectively holding nearly 36% of states' debt as of June, according to regulatory data.

BORROWING COST RELIEF

Indian states are projected to raise a record 12 trillion rupees ($135.2 billion) through bond issuances in the current financial year, with 7 trillion rupees expected between October and March.

Reduced buying by banks, insurers, and pension funds had driven yields on state bonds higher by 40 to 70 basis points during the three months ending September, with several auctions undersubscribed.

Market participants now anticipate improved bank participation at auctions, which could ease yields. Banks had also sought changes to the auction process to mitigate mark-to-market losses on their portfolios.

July 18 (Reuters) - India's central bank is close to finalising rules for banks and financial institutions to disclose and manage risks from climate change, three sources aware of the matter said.

The move runs counter to several top global banks including JP Morgan, Citibank, Morgan Stanley and HSBC, which have decided to scale back their climate commitments with the re-election of climate-sceptic U.S. President Donald Trump being seen as a trigger.

Getting a better idea of how, and to what extent, money is flowing to green investments is a central part of global efforts to move to a low-carbon economy, with countries from the UK to Japan making such disclosures mandatory.

The Indian central bank's norms, which have been in the works since 2022, are expected to ask banks and financial institutions to make regular disclosures about climate-related risks in their loan portfolios along with mitigation strategies and targets, the sources said.

The disclosures are likely to be on a voluntary basis from fiscal year 2027 and then mandatory from fiscal year 2028. India's financial year runs from April till March.

Banks will also be asked to conduct periodic stress tests to gauge the impact of adverse climate events such as floods, heatwaves and cyclones on borrowers and the economy, based on a guidance note which the central bank is also likely to issue soon, the sources added.

All three sources requested anonymity as they are not authorised to speak with media.

The RBI did not respond to an email from Reuters.

The central bank's decision to move forward with the rules has not been previously reported.

The Reserve Bank of India has previously recognised climate change as a source of major financial concern, and released a draft standard disclosure framework in February 2024 for public feedback.

“The signal from the central bank based on recent meetings is that the detailed norms are almost finalised and are expected very soon,” the first source said.

Many banks have already started collating data and setting targets to meet the disclosure standards, the source said.

Some large banks have put out tenders to bring in climate consultants to help them with the disclosures, according to public documents.

ASSESSING BORROWERS FOR CLIMATE RISK

The RBI's decision to move ahead with climate disclosures for its banks comes soon after India released a draft framework aimed at facilitating a greater flow of resources to climate-friendly sectors.

India is also gearing up to publish a new national emissions-reduction target ahead of the next round of global climate talks in Brazil in November.

India, the world's third largest polluter behind China and the United States, currently aims to achieve a net zero emissions target by 2070.

As part of the central bank's climate disclosure rules, banks will be required to calculate gross emissions of borrowers and disclose this information by asset classes and industries, according to the draft norms.

Such disclosures are expected to be included in their financial statements.

Separately, the central bank has also shared a 52-page draft note with large banks, a copy of which Reuters has reviewed, prescribing a methodology to forecast and analyse the impact of adverse climate events as well as transition risks on borrowers' ability to repay loans.

The transition risks are those which emerge from the changing consumer behaviour, policy and technology changes, as the world moves towards a low-carbon economy, as per the note.

While banks are preparing to disclose climate risk embedded in their loan portfolios, they do not expect these disclosures to impact loan pricing in the short term.

"As of now we don't have enough granular data to reliably price in these risks in our portfolios, but the long-term approach could be in that direction," said the second source, who is a banker at a state-owned lender.
