Nearly 80% of Indian populations are without Life insurance cover and the Health insurance. This is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector is immense in India.

...objective is to analyse the impact of mergers and acquisition in banking sector in India. We will try to find out from the experience of US and EU how Indian banking sector will respond if some major players merge together. In this report we will create a situation in which five big players in banking sector merge together and we will analyse the effect of merger on Indian Banking sector. In the past three decades, India's banking system has earned several outstanding achievements to its credit. The most striking is its extensive reach. It is no longer confined to metropolises or cities in India. In fact, Indian banking system has reached even to the remote corners of the country.1 This is one of the main aspects of India's banking growth story. The first banks were Bank of Hindustan (1770- 1829) and The General Bank of India, established 1786 and since defunct. The largest bank, and the oldest still in existence, is the State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company. The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India in 1955. The Government of India issued an ordinance and nationalised the 14 largest commercial banks in...

In other words, it is a route from public or state ownership to private players or a group. From the other point of view, it is a strategy that provides advantages to a few at the price of many.

...Analysis of Infrastructure Sector Infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city or area, including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function. Infrastructure is the backbone of an economy. The various types of infrastructure are roads, airports, ports, housing, cold chain, warehousing, telecom towers and allied services, container freight stations etc. In the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report for 2011-2012, India was ranked 89th out of 142 countries for its infrastructure. The report also criticized the transport, ICT and energy infrastructure labelling it as “largely insufficient and ill adapted to the needs of business”. Market Size: The Indian power sector has an investment potential of $US 250billion in the next 4-5 years, providing immense opportunities in power generation, distribution, transmission and equipment. The Indian railways have had an increase of 12.57% in revenues from last year. FDI received in construction development sector from April 2000 to January 2015 stood at US$ 24,028.19 million. The number of export and import containers moving through major ports in India expanded 7.34% year over year from April to October 2014. Government Estimation and Plans: Sustained increase in infrastructure is expected to be one of the crucial factors for sustaining strong growth in the economy. Infrastructure investment is expected to surge from 8.9% of GDP in FY15 to 12.1% of GDP in...

...BANKING SECTOR REFORMS IN INDIA . Introduction: Financial sector reforms introduced in the early 1990s as a part of the structural reforms have touched upon almost all aspects of banking operation. For a few decades preceding the onset of banking and financial sector reforms in India, banks operated in an environment that was heavily regulated and characterized by sufficient barriers to entry which protected them against too much competition. The banking reform package was based on the recommendation proposed by Narsimhan Committee report (1992) that advocated a move to a more market oriented banking system, which could operate in an environment of prudential regulation and transparent accounting. One of the primary motives behind this drive was to introduce an element of market discipline into the regulatory process that would reinforce the supervisory effort of the reserve bank of India(RBI). Market discipline, especially in the financial liberalization phase, reinforces regulatory and supervisory efforts and provides a strong incentive to banks to conduct their business in a prudent and efficient manner and to maintain adequate capital as a cushion against risk exposures. The administered interest rate structure, both on the liability and the assets side, allowed banks to earn reasonable spread without much efforts. Although banks operated under regulatory constraints in the form of statutory holding of government securities and the cash reserve ratio (CRR) and...

...THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM Centre for Risk & Insurance Studies Privatization of the Insurance Market in India: From the British Raj to Monopoly Raj to Swaraj Tapen Sinha CRIS Discussion Paper Series – 2002.X Privatization of the Insurance Market in India: From the British Raj to Monopoly Raj to Swaraj by Tapen Sinha, Ph.D. ING Comercial America Chair Professor Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México Mexico City, Mexico and Professor, School of Business University of Nottingham, UK tapen@itam.mx, tapen@nottingham.ac.uk Abstract We examine the institution of insurance in India. Over the past century, Indian insurance industry has gone through big changes. It started as a fully private system with no restriction on foreign participation. After the independence, the industry went to the other extreme. It became a state-owned monopoly. In 1991, when rapid changes took place in many parts of the Indian economy, nothing happened to the institutional structure of insurance: it remained a monopoly. Only in 1999, a new legislation came into effect signaling a change in the insurance industry structure. We examine what might happen in the future when the domestic private insurance companies are allowed to compete with some foreign participation. Because of the time dependence of insurance contracts, it is highly unlikely that these erstwhile monopolies are going to disappear.

INTRODUCTION Brands have been considered as the second most important assets for a firm after customers (Ambler, 2000 Doyle, 2001 Jones, 2005). Due to rapid changes in global banking sector and increased competition experienced between banks, ‘Brand Management’ has become more important. Good brand management brings about clear differentiation between products and services, ensures customer loyalty and preferences and may lead to a grater market share which ultimately increased Brand Equity. Brand Equity is the final desire or value added, which is created by product using brand. Brand equity is like a property for the company, which can enhance cash flow of business (Simon and Sullivan, 1993). It can support cost of resources in order to enhance market share...
