EAC-PM Recommends Consolidating Banks into Few Large, Equal-Sized Entities
The Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) recommends consolidating Indian banks into a few large, similarly sized entities to meet rising credit demands and support India's goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047. The consolidation aims to strengthen capital bases, expand geographic reach, and enhance capacity for financing large projects without compromising market competition. The EAC-PM study also finds public sector banks more efficient than private banks in recent years, highlighting significant improvements in banking sector efficiency and productivity since 2014.
