UAE's Emirates NBD bank to set up local unit in India after RBI approval
Setting up a wholly owned unit ring-fences a foreign bank's local operations and allows the unit to be treated on par with local entities
The Reserve Bank of India has given "in-principle" approval to Emirates NBD Bank PJSC to set up a wholly owned unit in India, the central bank said on Monday.
Emirates NBD, Dubai's biggest bank by assets, currently operates in India through branches located in Chennai, Gurugram and Mumbai. RBI's approval will allow the bank to set up a unit by converting its existing branches in India.
