Abstract

Altering customer demands with augmented competitive pressures significantly change the operating environment of Indian banks. Being competitive, banks are continuously keeping themselves on a platform of performance as set by them. Traditional methods for evaluation of performance are not working properly due to different issues as floated in this sector. Considering all the above issues, performance measurement is very complex as well as critical in terms of banks long-term sustainability. This study adopts a non-traditional method of measuring performance via Data Envelopment Analysis; a frontier-based radial approach to measure performance between public and private sector banks for last five years (2015–2019). Using non-parametric test, this study also tests the hypothesis that ‘there exist no statistical efficiency differences between the public and private sector banks’. Analyses show a significant result that: no bank is found to be overall technically efficient with all banks scoring less than one, and the private sector banks is 1.5% more technically efficient than public sector banks. Most significantly, strong ownership effect is proofed to be significant on the performance of Indian banking system.
