An important turning point in Indian banking history was reached on Wednesday when the prestigious New Delhi branch of State Bank of India (SBI) began its centennial year. On January 4, 1926, it opened as the Raisina Road Branch. On March 4, 1926, it changed its name to the New Delhi Branch. A unique cover honouring the bank’s ongoing presence in the nation’s capital was unveiled on Tuesday in remembrance of this legacy.
As a financial pillar for people, organisations, and the government, this ancient branch has seen India change through colonial rule, independence, and modernisation. SBI’s position as a cornerstone of the nation’s economic structure has been strengthened by its adaptation to policy and technological changes.
The centenary celebration honours the bank’s illustrious past and sets the tone for its future in digital innovation, customer service, and financial inclusion. As SBI continues to evolve, the New Delhi branch is a proud testament to resilience, trust, and legacy in India’s economic narrative.
