Kaunsa Sector Pichhad Raha Hai?
Yaaron, yeh numbers thoda worry karne waale hain. India mein banking sector mein jo foreign direct investment (FDI) equity inflows aa rahi thi, woh ekdum se dher ho gayi. FY23 mein yeh ₹898 million thi, lekin FY25 tak sirf ₹115 million reh gayi. Matlab ekdum se 76% ki giraawat!
Aur mazedaar baat yeh hai ki yeh tab ho raha hai jabki overall India ka FDI growth toh ₹81.04 billion tak pahunch gaya hai FY25 mein, aur sirf pichhle kuch mahino mein hi private banks mein $6 billion se zyada ka foreign capital dala gaya hai. Toh lagta hai paisa banking sector mein aa raha hai, par sirf private players mein, public sector banks ko shayad thoda side kiya jaa raha hai.
Public Sector Banks Ki Haalat?
Chalo dekhte hain ki major public sector banks mein foreign holdings kitni hai (March 2025 tak):
- State Bank of India (SBI): 11.07%
- Canara Bank: 10.55%
- Bank of Baroda: 9.43%
- Union Bank of India: 7.48%
- Punjab National Bank: 5.85%
Aur in banks ki valuations dekho toh yeh kaafi attractive lag rahi hain. Early Feb 2026 tak, SBI ka P/E ratio 11.9 ke aas paas hai aur market cap ₹10.5 trillion ke paas hai. Canara Bank ka P/E 7.3, Bank of Baroda ka 7.9, Union Bank ka 7.0, aur PNB ka 8.1 ke aas paas hai. Matlab numbers toh theek hain.
Credit rating agencies bhi Indian banking sector par positive hain. Moody's Rating bol raha hai ki NPAs kam rahenge aur profitability stable rahegi. S&P Global Ratings bhi keh raha hai ki Indian banks global uncertainties ko handle karne ke liye ready hain aur FY26 & FY27 mein 11.5%-12.5% ka credit growth expect kar rahe hain.
Toh Paisa Kahaan Jaana Chahiye Tha?
Generally, foreign investors ko India ka banking sector pasand hai. India ki fastest-growing economy, population badi hai jismein abhi bhi bahut se log bank nahi karte, aur digital banking mein progress. FY25 mein portfolio inflows bhi $12 billion the, jo ek decade ka record tha. Toh yeh sab dekhte hue banking sector mein equity FDI kam hona thoda puzzling hai.
Investor Kahaan Chaukanna Ho Raha Hai?
Jo yeh equity FDI mein kami dikh rahi hai, iske peeche kuch reasons ho sakte hain. Bahut zyada foreign ownership se kahi excessive external influence na ho jaye, ya firms apne strategic decisions ko offshore na shift kar dein, iska bhi dar rehta hai. Global capital flows mein volatility ka risk toh hai hi. India mein private banks mein 74% tak aur public sector banks mein 49% tak foreign ownership allowed hai, par RBI ki approval process thodi lambi ho sakti hai.
Iska matlab yeh ho sakta hai ki foreign investors ab banking sector mein seedha equity mein paisa lagane ki jagah koi aur tareeka dhoondh rahe hain, ya phir PSU banks mein direct equity se zyada private banks ke segments unhe zyada attractive lag rahe hain.
Aage Kya Ho Sakta Hai?
Banking sector ka future toh abhi bhi strong lag raha hai, aur policy makers bhi FDI limits ko 49% tak badhane par soch-vichaar kar rahe hain taaki credit growth ko support mile. Toh government chahti hai ki paisa aaye, lekin woh financial stability aur domestic control ko bhi banaye rakhna chahti hai. Dekhte hain aage yeh trend kaise badalta hai.
