While foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have been paring back their Indian equity holdings due to global macro uncertainties, one sector is standing tall: Public Sector Banks (PSBs).
Recent data highlights that India's state-run banks are showing remarkable resilience, attracting significant domestic interest even as broader markets face pressure.
📈 The "PSB" Power Surge
According to Bloomberg and Binance Market Data, state-run lenders like State Bank of India (SBI) and Bank of Baroda have maintained stability driven by three core pillars:
Robust Domestic Demand: India’s credit growth remains strong, fueled by infrastructure and manufacturing expansion.Improving Asset Quality: Years of "cleaning up" balance sheets have resulted in record-low Non-Performing Assets (NPAs).Government Support: Initiatives like the Union Budget 2026-27 proposals for a "High-Level Committee on Banking" have bolstered long-term confidence.
🛡️ Why Foreign Selling Isn't Stopping the Rally
Global investors have been net sellers in the Indian cash market (shedding over ₹41,000 crore in January 2026 alone). However, analysts suggest that:
Attractive Valuations: State-run banks are often seen as "value plays" compared to the high P/E ratios of private sector peers.FDI Reforms: The Indian government is reportedly discussing raising the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) cap in state-run banks from 20% to 49%, which could spark a massive wave of fresh capital.
💡 The Takeaway
The resilience of India’s state-run banks is a "green flag" for the country's financial stability. While global geopolitical tensions create noise, the fundamental strength of the Indian banking sector is creating a unique opportunity for long-term investors.

A Major Office Push in #Bengaluru
Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, is planning to dramatically expand its presence in India, with the possibility of taking millions of square feet in new office space in Bengaluru, India's premier tech hub. The company has leased one office tower and purchased options on two others in Alembic City, a development in the Whitefield tech corridor, totaling 2.4 million square feet. The first tower, spread across about 650,000 square feet, is expected to open to employees in the next few months, while construction of the remaining two towers is likely to be completed by 2027.
A Workforce Set to More Than Double
If all three buildings are occupied, the expanded campus could accommodate up to 20,000 additional employees, more than doubling its India workforce. Alphabet currently employs roughly 14,000 people in India, out of a global workforce of about 190,000. This would make India one of Alphabet's most significant talent hubs outside the #US .
The H-1B Visa Factor
The expansion comes against the backdrop of tighter US immigration policies under President Donald #Trump . New rules and sharply higher fees for H-1B work visas , as high as $100,000 per application , have made it costlier and more difficult to move Indian engineers to the United States, prompting US tech companies to strengthen their teams outside #America . According to LinkedIn, the number of tech professionals changing their location to India increased by 40% in the third quarter of 2025.
Broader Investment in #India
In October, Google had said it would invest $15 billion over five years to set up an artificial intelligence data centre in India's southern state of Andhra Pradesh, its biggest-ever investment in the nation. Alongside this, Alphabet has announced plans to lift 2026 capital expenditures to as much as $185 billion to support AI and cloud infrastructure globally.
India as a Global Tech Destination
The India strategy not only mitigates visa-related disruptions but also positions Alphabet to tap into the world's most populous nation's growing digital economy. India is expected to host over 2,400 global capability centres by 2030, employing over 2.8 million professionals. Alphabet's bold move signals that India is no longer just a support hub , it is becoming central to the company's global AI and technology ambitions.
