India’s largest private lender ICICI Bank Ltd. and mortgage lender Dewan Housing Finance Ltd. will report their January-March quarter earnings on Wednesday.
ICICI Bank’s bottomline is expected to jump three-fold due to a low base in the same quarter last year, according to the consensus of analyst estimates tracked by Bloomberg.

- Retail/mortgages amid slowing system growth
- Guidance on margins and growth
- Movement of watch list accounts
- More definite guidance on slippages and credit costs for FY18 is likely
- Plans on monetisation of stakes in various ventures

What To Watch
- Business growth trends and momentum
- Guidance on cost structure
