Abstract

This study examines the total factor productivity convergence for a sample of Indian commercial (public, private and foreign) banks for the period 1992–2018. Our empirical findings strongly support the convergence (beta and sigma) hypothesis among Indian banks without ownership bias. The speed of productivity convergence is higher in the public sector banks followed by foreign and private banks during the sample period.
