As the country aspires to be the world’s third largest economy it needs more SBI-sized banks in India, which might be three times the size of the respective bank as per the Finance Minister. The public sector largest lender in the country SBI has a market capitalization of approx Rs 5.8 trillion, an asset base of over Rs 60 trillion, and a branch spread of about 22,500. The lender is currently present in 29 countries and has over 230 overseas offices along with joint venture operations.
