The correct answer is (c), State Bank of India.
State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest state-owned banking and financial services company in India. It is the largest commercial bank in India by assets, deposits, branches, customers, and employees. SBI was founded in 1806 as the Bank of Calcutta, and it was renamed State Bank of India in 1955.
SBI has a long history of operating in China. In 1988, SBI became the first Indian bank to open a branch in China. The branch was located in Shanghai, and it was the first foreign bank to be granted a branch license in China.
SBI’s branch in China has been successful in providing financial services to Indian companies operating in China. The branch has also been successful in providing financial services to Chinese companies operating in India.
In 2016, SBI announced that it would be expanding its operations in China. The bank plans to open two new branches in China, one in Beijing and one in Guangzhou. The bank also plans to increase its staff in China by 50%.
SBI’s expansion in China is a sign of the growing economic ties between India and China. The bank’s expansion will help to facilitate trade and investment between the two countries.
