With the banking sector reporting robust growth in credit and healthy margins, banks are refocusing on expanding and capturing a wider deposit share and deepening geographical presence. Banks are on a branch addition spree as they look to follow a ‘physical plus online’ approach as we have seen leading banks invest in adding new branches, particularly in under-penetrated tier-4, tier-5 and tier-6 centres
according to RBI data.
