The RAM advances, which constitute 61 per cent of the book, are targeted to grow at a higher level of 17-18 per cent by the bank.

The analysis
Indian Bank reported Rs 1,09,517 crore and Rs 92,286 crore for FY27, with movement of 16%, 61% and -16% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is +0.2% on the day at ₹865.50, and has returned +4.6% over three months. It sits 13% below its 52-week high. The banks sector has moved -6.0% over the same period, so Indian Bank is running 10.6 points ahead of its peers.
For Indian Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
