# SBI eyes 20% of ₹2 trillion M&A market with 5-6 deals 2026-08-12T19:55:52+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet State Bank of India has five to six merger and acquisition financing deals in its pipeline, having already closed four to five deals this year including a large one, a senior official said. The bank sees an aspirational 20% share of the roughly ₹2 trillion M&A financing market, opened up by the RBI in April when it allowed banks to fund up to 75% of acquisition values for both listed and unlisted companies. SBI recently joined a consortium of 11 global lenders to finance Sun Pharma’s $11.75 billion acquisition of New Jersey-based Organon, becoming the only Indian bank in the group. The official said the acquisition brought Sun Pharma as a new client. SBI’s gross advances rose 19% year-on-year to ₹50 trillion in June, with domestic corporate advances up 18% to ₹14 trillion. ## Coverage - livemint.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
