Central Bank of India (CBoI) will leverage its pan-India presence to grow its business (deposits plus advances) by at least 15 per cent year-on-year (yoy) and, in the process, cross the ₹10-lakh-crore mark by March 2028.
In an interaction with businessline, Kalyan Kumar, MD and CEO of India’s eighth largest public sector bank, emphasised that the network of 4,585 branches is actually a strength, enabling the bank to play a bigger role in India’s economic growth.
He said CBoI is working to step up the share of non-interest income in total income to at least 25 per cent by March 2027 from 15 per cent in March 2026.
Kumar observed that the bank’s goal is to become not merely larger, but also digitally focused and customer-friendly.
