Flipitmoney
Foreign institutional investors increased stakes in most state-run lenders during September 2025, signaling renewed confidence in India's public banking sector. Key gains include Bank of Baroda (8.71%), Canara Bank (11.89%), Bank of India (4.24%), and State Bank of India (9.57%). FIIs may increase exposure further if the government lifts the foreign ownership cap in PSU banks to 49% from 20%.
