Nifty Banks - Private Index — Constituents & Performance
The Banks - Private companies below are the listed Indian Banks - Private universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Banks - Private index. Every figure is equal-weighted across those companies, so one large constituent cannot set the reading. Each number carries its own as-of date.
The sector itself · before any single company
How has Banks - Private moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers 5.1 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 32% ahead of NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies grew 8% on average over the last four reported quarters — close to flat. It has been ahead of NIFTY 500 on a rolling three-month view for 41 weeks running.

Participation is spreading downward — the mid and small companies added more this month than the large ones did.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 18 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

Is Banks - Private outperforming NIFTY 500?

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 92.8% evidence confidence.
Jammu and Kashmir Bank Ltd looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Jammu and Kashmir Bank Ltd has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded.

This conclusion weakens if: HDFC Bank Ltd's growth falls below Dhanlaxmi Bank Ltd's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
For lenders, reported income is used instead of industrial-company sales. Growth is compared year-on-year.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Banks - Private comparison names 7 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 18 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 draws at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. 3 have second-feed figures withheld because the two sources disagree.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROE can be manufactured with leverage. Read it beside ROA and asset quality.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing.
1 company draws at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; it is marked unverified wherever that figure appears.
3 companies are missing from the second-feed metrics by decision, not by absence: the two sources disagree, so nothing from the second is drawn. Read those rows as narrower evidence, never as a weaker business.
09 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 18 companies in the canonical Banks - Private membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
How each company's sources stand: 1 of 18 companies draws at least one figure from a second data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source, because the two do not share enough reported history to compare. Those figures are marked unverified wherever they appear. 3 of 18 companies have a second data feed that is known to disagree with the primary source, so nothing from it is drawn: HDFC Bank Ltd (HDFCBANK) — its two data sources disagree by up to 26% on reported income across 15 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; ICICI Bank Ltd (ICICIBANK) — its two data sources disagree by up to 7% on reported income across 15 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld; Federal Bank Ltd (FEDERALBNK) — its two data sources disagree by up to 3.6% on reported income across 15 comparable periods, so its derived ratios are withheld.
Evidence and freshness
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 18 Banks - Private companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-24. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
FundamentalsThrough Jun 2026 · up to 20 quarters per company
Market dataThrough 2026-07-24 · weekly price and relative-strength history
Derived metricsGrowth, changes, CAPEX intensity, net debt, guarded PEG and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from. Every company's standing is listed in the register above.
These 18 answers restate the Banks - Private comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 18 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-24. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
What is the Nifty Banks - Private index?
The Nifty Banks - Private index tracks India's listed Banks - Private companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 18 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Banks - Private sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Banks - Private stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Ltd places first among 18 listed Banks - Private companies, followed by City Union Bank Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Jun 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser.
How many Banks - Private stocks are listed in India?
This comparison covers 18 listed Banks - Private companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Jun 2026.
Which Banks - Private company is the biggest?
HDFC Bank Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month income of ₹3,51,818 crore, ahead of ICICI Bank Ltd at ₹1,98,380 crore. That covers 18 of 18 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Banks - Private company is growing fastest?
Dhanlaxmi Bank Ltd has the fastest income growth at 21.3% year on year, across 18 of 18 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Banks - Private company makes the most profit?
HDFC Bank Ltd earns the most, at ₹82,512 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 18 of 18 comparable companies. IDFC First Bank Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 77.3%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Banks - Private lender has the best asset quality?
Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Ltd reports the lowest gross NPA ratio at 0.7% — lower is better — across 9 of 18 lenders. Read the direction as well as the level: a rising NPA ratio off a low base can matter more than a high but falling one.
Which Banks - Private company earns the highest return on capital?
ICICI Bank Ltd leads on return on assets at 2.1%, across 17 of 18 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Banks - Private stock is the cheapest?
On price-to-book divided by return on equity — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Jammu and Kashmir Bank Ltd screens cheapest at 0.07×. Only 18 of 18 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Banks - Private lender has the largest funding base?
Axis Bank Ltd has the largest reported deposit base at ₹13,71,173 crore. For lenders, deposits and borrowings are operating inputs rather than leverage, so they are read against asset quality and returns instead of as debt.
Which Banks - Private stock has the strongest price momentum?
Jammu and Kashmir Bank Ltd has the strongest relative strength against NIFTY 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Banks - Private company scores highest for research priority?
Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Ltd scores 72 out of 100 with 92.8% evidence confidence, from 20 points on growth and earnings, 22.1 on capital efficiency, 12.9 on valuation and 17 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Banks - Private companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 18 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 10 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Banks - Private sector?

What is the Banks - Private sector's P/B ratio?
The median price-to-book ratio across the 18 Banks - Private companies on this page is 1.4×, measured on the 18 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-07-29.
How is the Banks - Private sector performing?
16 of the 18 covered Banks - Private companies are beating NIFTY 500 on Mansfield relative strength. A 52-week sector-versus-index comparison is not available from the current market series for this sector, so it is not quoted. Readings are as of 2026-07-29.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
