Abstract
This paper examines the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) that have taken place within the Indian banking system to understand the resulting cooperative synergies and the long-term impacts of these mergers. Furthermore, the paper investigates and emphasizes significant trends in the Indian banking sector following the mergers and acquisitions, subsequently proposing several measures that banks should contemplate for the future. The study elucidates the implications of M&As by analyzing the flow and patterns within the Indian banking system. It endeavours to review previous research to evaluate and assess the performance of M&As in the Indian banking sector. The findings indicate that while M&A activities in the Indian banking system have been skillfully executed, the economy has reaped only limited benefits thus far. Policymakers and the government must exercise caution when merging robust banks with weaker ones, as this could adversely affect the assets of the stronger banks, rather than merely safeguarding the interests of distressed banks. Additionally, the paper focuses on recently merged banks and the newly established entities. The research utilizes available secondary data and aims to understand the history of Indian banking sector, purpose of mergers and acquisition, and observe the trends of mergers and acquisitions in Indian Banking Sector.
