4.1 Introduction
As per our objectives the study analyzes the impact of FDI on performance of Indian
banking industry with respect to productivity and profitability. This chapter deals with the testing
of the first hypothesis of the study, i.e. hypothesis: there is no significant impact of FDI on
FDI was introduced in 1991 with liberalization of Indian economy and financial sector
reforms in Indian banking industry. Any policy takes some time period to show significant
results and impact. So it was almost about 1995 when we first see FDI in the Indian banks with
the new private sector banks getting formed such as ICICI, etc.
The bank wise FDI data that is available with RBI is from 2000-01 to 2011-12.So, the time
period for the study is also chosen from 2000-01 to 2011-12.The effect of FDI on performance of
banks is studied by panel data regression method using dummy variable as year 2005=1 as that
was the year of enhancement of FDI from 49 per cent to 74 percent in Banks in the post FDI
liberalization period.
These following sections will analyze the presence and role of FDI in public and private
The Table No 4.1 depicts the FDI inflows in the Indian public sector banks from 2000-01
to 2011-12 (Figures are percentages). As mentioned earlier, Indian public sector banks had FDI
cap of 10 per cent till 2005 and thereafter it was liberalized to 20 per cent in 2005. The table also
depicts the CAGR for Public Sector banks for the entire study period of 12 years including the
135
liberalized FDI regime of 7 years. Further it also shows the CAGR for old (i.e. State bank group

It is observed from the table that FDI CAGR for old public sector banks is falling
continuously for both, the entire study period and the FDI liberalization period as compared with
new public sector banks. However, new public sector banks have shown that for the entire study
period FDI CAGR is rising but in post FDI liberalization period it is falling, although not as
The Table No 4.2 depicts the FDI inflows in the Indian private sector banks from 2000-01
to 2011-12 (Figures are percentages). As mentioned earlier, Indian private sector banks had FDI
cap of 49% till 2005 and thereafter it was liberalized to 74% in 2005.The table also depicts the
CAGR for Private Sector banks for entire study period of 12 years and also for liberalized FDI
regime of 7 years. Further it reveals CAGR for old and new private sector banks.

It is observed that new private sector banks, such as HDFC, ICICI, Axis, IndusInd and
DCB, came into existence with FDI as they are the outcome of reforms and they are found to
have more FDI as compared to the old private sector banks and they have crossed 50% of total
holdings.
Though FDI in Indian banking can be traced with the entry of new private sector banks in
1995 the official data on FDI is not available before year 2000. The FDI policy liberalization
took place in the year 2005 raising limits to up to 74 per cent from 49 per cent. The present
study uses time dummy to gauge the performance of Indian banks in pre and post FDI
liberalization era. We are using time dummy for year 2005>1, which is, post FDI liberalization
The total number of banks under study is 49 constituting all public and private sector
banks which are published in the list of Shareholding Patterns published by RBI’s Trend and
Progress of Banking in India, which is the only official source to know the residents and non
residents investments in Indian banks and is used to find the FDI content of banks under study
(list enclosed in Appendix I).The Panel data multiple regression models used for the analysis is
The impact of FDI on Indian banks is measured on the performance of two factors, i.e, its
productivity and profitability. The productivity of banks, in turn, is measured by Profit per
Employee (PPE) and Business per Employee (BPE). The profitability of Indian banks is
measured by Net Profits, Total Income, Return on Assets (ROA), and Total Business.
The following Table - 4.3 depicts the performance of vital banking variables for the
entire FDI regime i.e. from 2001-2012 and liberalized FDI regime i.e. 2005-2012.

The average FDI is 17.67 per cent for 2005-12 as against 14.11 for 2001-12. The average
figures of Total Business, Net Profits, Income, Investments, Expenditure, PPE, BPE, ROA and
Staff is more in post FDI liberalization regime i.e. 2005-12 than 2001-12 i.e. entire FDI policy
regime. This shows that FDI liberalization policy has shown rise in the performance of crucial
variables of banking sector. Hence, now the task to see that if this rise is significant or not, is
The productivity of Indian banks as already mentioned is analyzed with two variables -
profit per employee and business per employee. The data on these variables can be found in

This chapter analyzed the impact of FDI on Indian banking industry for complying with
our objective of studying the impact of FDI on the performance of productivity and profitability
Productivity Performance:
Table 4.10 shows the results for the productivity performance of Indian banks.

1. Profit per Employee:
Based on our time dummy results we can conclude that hypothesis: There is no
statistically significant impact of liberalized FDI Policy on the Profit per Employee (PPE)
performance of Indian banks; may not be accepted. As there is a statistical significant impact of
FDI liberalization on the Profit per Employee of Indian banks in the study period and the
In the case of Profit per Employee, a positive coefficient in the dummy period shows that
the magic word ‘profitability’ (which is used for the first time in the Indian banking) introduced
competition due to several private banks which in turn, are an outcome of FDI).
Based on our time dummy results we can conclude that hypothesis: There is no
significant impact of FDI liberalization on the Business per Employee (BPE) performance of
Indian banks; may not be accepted. As there is a statistically significant impact of FDI
liberalization on the Business per Employee of Indian banks in the study period and the estimate
Based on our time dummy results we conclude that hypothesis may be rejected on the
productivity of Indian banks in the study period. We have taken Profit per Employee (PPE) and
Business per Employee (BPE) as proxy for Productivity performance of banks under study. Our
study shows statistically significant impact on Profit per Employee and Business per Employee
which are the Productivity performance parameters. This is mainly because Total Business
consists of sum of Total Deposits and Total Advances by the bank and is divided across by the
number of employee. Thus considering PPE and BPE as significantly important indicators of the
149
productivity, we can confidently conclude that Productivity of Indian banks has increased to
Profitability Performance:
Table 4.11 shows the profitability performance of Indian banks in the post FDI
1. Net Profit:
Based on our time dummy results we can conclude that hypothesis: There is no
significant impact of FDI liberalization on the Net Profit performance of Indian banks, may be
accepted. As there is no statistically significant impact of FDI on the Net Profits of Indian banks
150
in the study period and the coefficient is negative for dummy period, the hypothesis may be
accepted.
2. Total Income:
Based on our time dummy results we can conclude that hypothesis: There is no
significant impact of FDI liberalization on the Total Income performance of Indian banks may
be accepted. As there is a statistical significant impact of FDI on the Total Incomes of Indian
banks in the study period and the coefficient being negative implies a fall in Income for dummy
3. ROA:
Based on our time dummy results we can conclude that hypothesis: There is no
significant impact of FDI liberalization on the Return on Assets (ROA) performance of Indian
banks, may not be accepted. As there is a statistically significant impact of FDI on the ROA of
Indian banks in the study period and the coefficient is positive, hypothesis may not be accepted.
4. Total Business:
Based on our time dummy results we can conclude that hypothesis: There is no
significant impact of FDI liberalization on the Total Business performance of Indian banks may
not be accepted; at 10 per cent level of significance. There is no statistically significant impact of
FDI on the Total Business of Indian banks in the study period though the coefficient is positive,
however; at 10 per cent level of significance; the hypothesis may not be accepted.
Based on our time dummy results we cannot fully conclude whether hypothesis may be
accepted or rejected on the profitability of Indian banks in the study period. We have taken Net
Profits, Total Income, ROA and Total Business as proxy for Profitability performance of banks
under study. Our results show that FDI has a statistically significant impact on the profitability
151
performance of Indian banks only in the case of ROA and Total Business. However, the dummy
period does not show statistically significant impact on the Net Profitability or Total Income of
banks. This implies that, FDI liberalization dummy period or the FDI liberalization policy per se
is not showing any great impact on either the Net Profits or the Total Income of banks. But we
do see statistically significant impact on Total Business and ROA in the study period, which are
also important profitability indicators for banks. So the results show a mixed impact. This is in
line with the results of other studies undertaken by Jeromi (2002), RBI (2002), Athrege and
4.7 Conclusion
We can conclude that the FDI liberalization period shows significant positive impact on
the productivity of banks through the impact on profit per employee and Business per employee
which are the productivity parameters. However the same cannot be fully said about the
profitability measures. The study shows significant positive impact on Return on Assets (ROA)
and Total Business (at 10 per cent level of significance) of bank but negative significant impact
on the Total Net Profit and Income of banks. So it can be said that the dummy period (FDI
liberalization policy period) did not have any significant impact on Net Profits or Total Income
of Banks. This means that except ROA, other profitability parameters are not showing
statistically significant impact of the liberalized FDI policy. Overall observation shows that
productivity has gone up in the FDI liberalization period and profitability of Indian banks have
grown in the period in case of some important indicators/parameters, while there is no impact
/negative impact in other indicators. So Profitability shows mixed results in the post FDI
Liberalization period.

Hence it is important to see the impact of FDI and FDI liberalization policy on different
group of banks under study, taking better cross section views in order to see if there can be some
conclusive results from our study. Further cross section analysis is explained in the following
chapter with Time and Content dummy analysis in different sub-groups of banks for better cross
section results. The need of time and content dummy in the analysis of the present study is
explained with required details in Chapter 3 – Research Methodology and Tools of Analysis. In
the following Chapter 5 – Productivity of Indian FDI and Non-FDI Banks, we conduct a
Productivity analysis with Time and Content dummy analysis for the different groups of banks
under study.
