SBI and BoI Collaborate to Establish Centre of Excellence for Project Financing Leadership in India

Two major public sector banks, State Bank of India (SBI) and Bank of India (BoI), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together on a Centre of Excellence in Strategic Partnership. This collaboration aims to strengthen leadership and expertise in project financing across India while encouraging innovation and teamwork in the banking sector.

Purpose of the Partnership

The MoU focuses on several key areas:

  1. Joint Financing for Big Projects: SBI and BoI will explore co-financing opportunities for large infrastructure and industrial projects. By pooling their resources, the banks aim to provide strong financial support to critical projects across India.
  2. Enhanced Brand Presence: The partnership will also improve the visibility of both banks in corporate and project financing, positioning them as leaders in strategic financing solutions.
  3. Employee Training and Development: The initiative will focus on capacity building, including training and leadership programs for employees, ensuring the banks have skilled professionals in project financing.

This partnership comes at a time when India’s demand for structured project financing is growing, especially in infrastructure, energy, and industrial sectors.

Following the announcement:

  • Bank of India shares fell slightly by 0.43% to Rs 147.01 on the BSE.
  • SBI shares rose by 0.73% to Rs 980.00 on the BSE.
