AU SFB has a well-diversified geographical presence across the north, central, and western India.

Rating: Accumulate

It is India’s largest private sector bank with an asset book of Rs 11.3 lakh crore in FY21 and a deposit base of Rs 13.4 lakh crore.

After the announcement of HDFC’s merger with HDFC Bank, its share increased by about 10 per cent.
