The Bank was able to tap this opportunity by offering both vanilla and structured products to meet this demand. The Bank was also able to offer customized solutions on derivatives, foreign exchange & transaction banking to its customers.  
 
 The Bank continued to strengthen its presence as a 'collection banker' in a number of the IPOs garnering significant market share. 
 
 During the year, the Bank has launched an asset-backed funding product called 'Saral' that is based on non-parameterized credit parameters, tailor-made to suit customer requirements.

The focus of the business continues to be across all segments of customers including salaried, self employed professionals as well as businessmen.

The reach now extends into some of the fastest growing cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Surat and Vadodra. 
 
 Commercial Vehicles division succeeded in capitalising buoyancy in terms of economic growth and achieved 35% growth in disbursements during the year. Backed by rapid development in infrastructure sector, the construction equipment segment (which is a part of the Commercial Vehicles division) crossed Rs.2500 millions of disbursements in 2004-05 (which is more than 55% growth in that segment). Robust risk management practices facilitated the division in maintaining the portfolio quality level which is comparable to the best in the industry. The division succeeded in maintaining the delinquency at March 2004 levels in spite of growth of around 40% in book size. During the year Commercial Vehicles division has successfully launched a working capital product for transporters.  
 
 The Bank offers a wide range of deposit, insurance and investment products and a team of highly skilled professionals are dedicated to help the customer meet his/her short and long term goals. The Bank gains advantages and competitive edge in wealth management from nearly two decades of experience in providing tailor-made financial solutions to meet the needs of existing customers, an easily accessible treasury platform for innovative products, insurance advisory services to protect the family and a comprehensive fund evaluation process that aligns with the needs of the customer to provide independent and objective guidance on investment fund selection. 
 
 During the year, the private equity division of the Bank co-sponsored Kotak SEAF India Fund, which has been set up as a Trust and registered with SEBI as a Venture Capital Fund. India Growth Fund (the Fund) was set up as a unit scheme of Kotak SEAF India Fund. The private equity division has an experienced investment management team with a successful track record in the venture capital industry. The Fund has obtained all the requisite approvals and had its initial closing during the financial year with committed contributions of around Rs.3200 millions from domestic as well as international investors.  
 
 The Asset Reconstruction business in India is slowly gathering momentum. The public sector banks have started selling their NPAs to Asset Reconstruction companies. ARCIL, the first asset reconstruction company in India, has purchased Rs.15,0000 millions of NPAs from banks and institutions. Financial Year 2004-05 saw a quantum jump in the performance of Asset Recovery Division of the Bank. This division purchased NPA portfolios from private sector and foreign banks. With the acquisition of the NPA portfolios with a face value of approximately Rs.1,0000 millions the division has become a significant player in the Asset Recovery Business. Besides the buy-out of portfolios, the division ventured into advisory services for distress companies and this activity would generate steady stream of fee based income. 
 
 The directors are pleased to inform you that the Bank has been ranked amongst the top 10 banks by the 'Business Today - KPMG Best Banks 2004 survey'.  
 
 As at the end of the year, the Bank's capital adequacy was 12.8% and the net NPAs were 0.37% of advances. 
 
 FUTURE OUTLOOK: 
 
 The Bank plans to increase the total number of its full fledged branches to 90-100 by March 2007 spread out across 45 to 50 cities thereby covering major banking centres across the country. 
 
 Given the overall improvement in economic activity in the country coupled with launch of major infrastructure projects, the buoyancy in the Commercial Vehicles and Construction Equipment market is expected to continue and the Bank will try to capitalize on the same. However, stagnant freight prices alongwith increasing fuel prices, may temper the growth to some extent.  
 
 The real estate market is expected to maintain a high growth rate. The Bank expects to increase its market share in the mortgages market.  
 
 The Bank continues its endeavor in the personal loan portfolio by offering a variety of 'Jaldi Loans' catering to different customer and market segments. 
 
 Outlook for the Corporate Banking business for the next year shows a positive trend with signs of credit demand pick up in line with growth in the economy. The Bank will strive to increasingly synergise the corporate and investment banking relationships to constantly expand its customer base and evolve new products and services to fully meet requirements of customers. 
 
 There has been a distinct pick up in credit demand from the SME segment and the Bank will endeavtheir to capitalize on the same through a judicious strategy of products, tie-ups and comprehensive banking services. The Bank proposes to expand its geographical coverage of this business in the coming year. 

 

SUBSIDIARIES: 
 
 The Bank along with its subsidiaries offers complete financial solutions to its customers. The key business segments where the subsidiaries operate include investment banking, stock broking, car finance, mutual funds and life insurance.  
 
 The various activities of the subsidiaries are outlined in the Management Discussion and Analysis section appended to this Report. During the year, the name of OM Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company Limited was changed to Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance Limited.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: 
 
 Pursuant to Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement with the Stock Exchanges, a separate section entitled 'Corporate Governance' has been included in this Annual Report. 

 

OUTLOOK: 
 
 Stability and confidence was witnessed in the Indian financial markets in 2004-05. The robust performance of the banking industry in 2004-05 indicates a further acceleration of the Indian economy. With the interest rates having hardened and gains on trading of government securities and bonds having eroded, the focus has now shifted to core banking activities. In addition, there are concerns over the impact of the weakness of the US Dollar and rising crude oil prices.  
 
 In spite of the threats and shortfalls, Kotak Mahindra group believes that it will be able to sustain the robust financial performance. The group is confident that with its integrated business model it shall be able to take advantage of the significant growth opportunities in the coming years.
