(Reuters) - IDFC Bank Ltd on Wednesday posted its first quarterly loss since its stock market debut in November 2015, as the bank set aside funds to comply with regulatory norms.
The bank's net loss was 3.70 billion rupees ($50.59 million) for the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a profit of 2.34 billion rupees a year ago, the private sector lender said in a statement.
