Home loan portfolio to cross ₹10 trn milestone this quarter: SBI chairman

Highlighting the leadership position of SBI in the housing finance segment, its Chairman CS Setty said the mortgage portfolio is set to cross an important milestone of Rs 10 lakh crore in the current quarter on the back of robust demand. The country's largest lender had surpassed Rs 9 lakh crore home loan portfolio during the last financial year. "We should be reaching the 10 trillion mark, hopefully in this quarter itself," Setty told PTI in an interview. SBI has a market share of nearly 28 per cent in the home loan segment, he said, adding that the bank has focused on making home loans accessible across the country. The lender has more than 460 home loan processing centres across India, increasing accessibility of its housing finance products. Setty said transparency in pricing and customer trust in the bank's processes, including documentation and due diligence of builders, are among the key factors driving customers to the lender for home loans. "People trust SBI the most whe

SBI eyes $10 bn from NRIs, foreign investors as RBI swap window nears end

As RBI's concessional swap window draws to a close this month end, State Bank of India (SBI) Chairman C S Setty has expressed confidence that the bank would garner about USD 10 billion from non-resident Indians and foreign investors. "In aggregate, we must be reaching the USD 10 billion mark, predominantly coming from the deposit side. But there is visibility of ECBs. ECB, of course, will have a longer period available to us, but by August 31, we should have mobilised around USD 9-10 billion on a consolidated basis," he told PTI in an interview. Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank of India advanced the closure of the Foreign Currency Non-Resident Bank (FCNR-B) deposits swap window by a month to August 31 as against the earlier cut-off date of September 30. However, the special US Dollar-Rupee forex swap window to give cheap currency hedging support to public sector undertakings (PSUs) raising External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) is available till December 31, 2026.

SBI's total business may double to ₹200 trillion by 2030: Chairman

State Bank of India's total business could potentially double to around Rs 200 lakh crore by 2030, when the bank celebrates its platinum jubilee, given the current growth trajectory, Chairman C S Setty said. SBI came into existence on July 1, 1955 through an Act of Parliament, which, among other things, provided for the transfer of the undertaking of the Imperial Bank of India. The country's biggest lender crossed the landmark of Rs 100 lakh crore total business, which is an aggregate of total loans and advances in the second quarter of the last financial year. This further increased to Rs 110.01 lakh crore at the end of June 2026. Whether the bank had set a specific target for its platinum jubilee year, Setty said there was no formal milestone, but the bank's growth trajectory could take its total business to Rs 170-180 lakh crore and potentially as high as Rs 200 lakh crore by 2030. "We don't have any milestone, but if you take the current growth rate, I think we should be around

$10.5 bn FCNR (B) swap cost over 5 years is 1.45% of forex kitty: Report

Targeted flows, not swap cost, drove early FCNR (B) closure: SBI Research

The cost of FCNR (B) swaps is unlikely to have been a constraining factor for the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) decision to close the special swap facility ahead of schedule, according to a report. SBI Research, in its report Ecowrap, estimated that the cumulative hedging cost could amount to around USD 10.5 billion over five years. On August 14, the central bank decided to close the window for fresh FCNR(B) deposits under the special swap facility on August 31, one month ahead of the scheduled September 30 closure. SBI Research said the potential FCNR(B) mobilisation of USD 65-70 billion, combined with an average USD/INR hedging cost of around 3 per cent per annum, implies an annual notional hedging cost of about USD 2.1 billion on a USD 70 billion corpus. If this cost were to remain at 3 per cent over the five-year maturity of the deposits, the cumulative cost would amount to around 15 per cent of the corpus, or USD 10.5 billion, the report said. With current reserves at around

SBI uses AI to underwrite nearly ₹1 trillion in MSME loans in FY26

The country's largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI), used artificial intelligence to underwrite nearly Rs 1 lakh crore in MSME loans of up to Rs 5 crore each during 2025-26, a senior bank official said on Wednesday. "In FY26, in 12 months time, we are able to underwrite loans up to Rs 5 crore, both covering the new-to-bank customers, as well as existing customers. Almost Rs 1 lakh crore we were able to underwrite," SBI Managing Director Rama Mohan Rao Amara said at the annual FIBAC event here. He added that the bank is also deploying artificial intelligence, including Large Language Models (LLMs), to automate processing of cheques up to Rs 10,000. The use of AI has helped free up the bandwidth of relationship managers, who earlier spent considerable time collecting data and carrying out preliminary analysis, the official said. Cheques of up to Rs 10,000 account for around 25 per cent of the bank's cheque volumes, and the AI model can read the cheque and verify mandatory fields
