Summary:
This case study examines the merger of Bank of Baroda, Vijaya Bank, and Dena Bank in the
Indian banking industry, which attempted to achieve synergies and cost savings in order to form
a larger, more competitive business. Due diligence, legal and regulatory clearances, system and
process integration, and cultural integration were all part of the merger process. Following the
merger, the Bank of Baroda launched a number of steps to combine the operations of the three
banks, including branch reduction, policy and process harmonization, and IT system
consolidation. Bank of Baroda has strengthened its position in the Indian banking market,
emerging as a stronger and more competitive institution as a result of the merger. The article also
examines the causes of bank mergers and acquisitions in India, as well as current trends and the
long-term consequences of such mergers. Moreover, the study reveals that mergers and
acquisitions may be beneficial in the Indian banking sector and can aid in improved capital
management, proper governance and management changes, and broadening the range of services
supplied. Finally, the Bank of Baroda merger with Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank had a
tremendous influence on the Indian banking system. As a result of the merger, the market size,
client base, branches, and regional and zonal offices have all grown. Both the bank's obligations
and assets have grown dramatically. Yet, the bank is having difficulty lowering gross and net
NPAs.
Overall, the merger has benefited the Bank of Baroda by improving capital management and
broadening the bank's service area. To achieve long-term success, the bank must prioritize proper
governance and managerial reforms. According to an examination of the bank's annual report,
the merger had a beneficial influence on the bank, and it will be fascinating to watch how the
bank navigates the hurdles and continues to expand in the future.
