HDFC Bank Limited is India's largest private-sector bank by assets. It was incorporated in Mumbai on 30 August 1994 as a subsidiary of Housing Development Finance Corporation and started banking operations in January 1995. The Reserve Bank of India classifies it as a Domestic Systemically Important Bank. The company is listed on the NSE (HDFCBANK), the BSE (500180) and the NYSE (HDB) through American Depositary Shares, with a market capitalisation of about ₹11.48 lakh crore.
The bank runs a full-service franchise across retail banking, wholesale and corporate banking, treasury, payments, wealth management and housing finance. It operated 9,694 branches as of June 2026, alongside roughly 21,417 ATMs. Overseas it has branches in Bahrain, Hong Kong, Singapore and London, an IFSC banking unit at GIFT City, and representative offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Nairobi. Two large deals shaped its scale: the acquisition of Centurion Bank of Punjab in 2008 and the reverse merger with parent HDFC Ltd completed on 1 July 2023.
For FY2025-26 the bank reported consolidated revenue of about ₹3.49 lakh crore and employed 211,178 people as of 31 March 2026, about 3,343 fewer than a year earlier as automation absorbed non-supervisory work. In Q1 FY27 it posted profit after tax of roughly ₹19,060 crore with net interest margin compressed to 3.26 percent. Its FY26 annual report set out an AI-first agenda built around an in-house generative AI platform called Neev, plus shareholder approval sought for a ₹60,000 crore bond raise.
