flag India maintains voting limits on bank shareholders to prevent control concentration, despite liberalization and foreign investment.

flag India will keep voting limits for major bank shareholders—26% for private banks and 10% for state-owned lenders—despite broader financial sector liberalization and increased foreign investment. flag While foreign ownership caps may rise, especially in state banks, voting rights will remain restricted to prevent concentrated control. flag Officials cite concerns over excessive influence, though foreign interest remains strong, highlighted by recent deals like Emirates NBD’s purchase of RBL Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui’s investment in YES Bank. flag The government aims to secure a majority investor for IDBI Bank by March 2026, confident the rules won’t deter participation.
