India’s Vision for World-Class Banks: Reforms, Challenges, and Way Forward

India is working to build big and world-class banks to support its growing economy and global competitiveness. Reforms like the Indradhanush Plan, Atmanirbhar Bharat recapitalization, EASE reforms, and FSIB governance improvements have strengthened public sector banks. Digital innovations like UPI and Public Tech Infrastructure, along with the IFSC at GIFT City, position India as a leader in financial technology and global banking. The focus going forward is on capital adequacy, governance, digitalization, risk management, sustainability, and global integration to create banks that are efficient, resilient, and internationally competitive.
