Public sector banks — mid-size — Business MegaBrands 2026–27

Mid-size public sector banks are government-owned commercial banks, many with regional strengths, that provide deposits, loans and payment services to companies, small enterprises, farmers and households. They act as bankers to state governments and central schemes. Their branch networks extend formal credit and financial inclusion schemes to districts that private lenders cover less densely.
