        abstract = {Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have significantly transformed the Indian banking sector, contributing to financial stability, operational efficiency, and market expansion. This study explores the key drivers behind M&As in Indian banks, including regulatory changes, competitive pressures, and the pursuit of economies of scale. It examines major consolidation efforts, such as public sector bank mergers and private sector acquisitions, to understand their strategic motives and long-term implications.
The research assesses the impact of M&As on financial performance, service quality, and market dynamics. While mergers aim to strengthen banking institutions, they also present challenges like cultural integration, regulatory compliance, and operational restructuring. Analyzing post-merger financial data and case studies, the study evaluates whether these consolidations have achieved their intended objectives.
By providing a data-driven perspective, this research offers valuable insights for policymakers, banking professionals, and investors. It emphasizes the importance of strategic planning and effective governance in ensuring successful mergers that contribute to a more robust and competitive banking landscape in India.
Furthermore, this study highlights the role of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other regulatory bodies in shaping M&A policies to ensure a stable banking ecosystem. It also examines global banking trends and their influence on India’s financial consolidation strategies.},
