India's central bank on Wednesday said the State Bank of India, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank remain the three domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs) and that the first two would need to maintain an additional capital buffer starting April 2025.

Shares of State Bank of India fell after the country’s largest lender reported a contraction in margins and higher provisions for bad loans. The bank forecast lower-than-expected deposit growth for this fiscal year.

State Bank of India, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank have again been named as Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) by the Reserve Bank of India. The Reserve Bank on Wednesday came out with the list of D-SIBs.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday said State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank will continue to be identified as Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs).

HDFC Bank, the largest private sector lender, continues to be bracketed in bucket 2, under which it will have to maintain a higher CET1 by 0.40%

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reaffirmed on Wednesday that State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank are India’s key “too-big-to-fail” banks.
