DBS' recent takeover of India's Lakshmi Vilas Bank (LVB) is expected to turn a profit in the next 12 to 24 months, now that asset quality concerns have been accounted for in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The cash-starved LVB was amalgamated with DBS Bank India last November to accelerate the group's digital banking push in South India, said DBS chief Piyush Gupta at a media briefing on Wednesday.
