State Bank of India Pursues Multiple Merger and Acquisition Financing Deals
State Bank of India (SBI) has five to six merger and acquisition (M&A) financing deals in progress, following the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) April guidelines allowing banks to fund up to 75% of acquisition values. SBI has completed several deals, including a major one, focusing on technology and industry sectors. The bank views M&A financing as an opportunity to grow its loan book and corporate relationships, though it does not have a formal market share target.
