The discussions are part of a decades-long process of banking reforms in India that were set rolling in 1991. The latest milestone in the chronology of such reforms was the amalgamation of associate banks into SBI in 2017, when it was signalled that the mega-merger would be followed by more such deals.
"Contrary to perceptions that the [earlier] plan had been shelved, the finance ministry is working on a fresh blueprint on bank consolidation.
