India's best banks 2011: Pics

1

The 2011 edition of the Business Today-KPMG Best Banks study has thrown up some suprises. Private sector major HDFC Bank was the undisputed leader from 2003 to 2008, but when it pounced on Centurion Bank to acquire size, it lost out on many performance parameters and the top slot.
A public sector bank - Bank of India - rose to the top in 2009 when the global financial meltdown affected many a bank in the country. A year later, Axis Bank came out tops.
Here are the winner...

A country's GDP funnels through the banking system. India's growth story will require many more banks to meet its credit needs.' Chanda Kochhar, Managing Director & CEO of ICICI Bank, says India's economic fundamentals should enable it to average eight per cent real GDP growth over the next several years. To support this, bank credit would need to grow by about 2.5 times, or 20 per cent, annually.

This means the current non-food credit of about Rs 40 trillion will grow to about Rs 200 trillion by 2020. 'This is the kind of scale we have to be ready for if banks are to play the role they need to play in this growing economy,' she says. 'I believe these are conservative estimates, we are basing this projection on India's growth in absolute terms as well as relative to other markets.'

'We have 250 million accounts and about 170 million customers,' says SBI's Managing Director A. Krishna Kumar.

'We have about 40-45 million transactions daily. The peak was 52 million in March this year. But these transaction values, when converted into dollars, remain insignificant,' he added.
