Bank of Maharashtra: PSU Reborn or Just Wearing a Mask?


1. At a Glance

Bank of Maharashtra (BoM) is quietly becoming the PSU bank dark horse — leaner NPAs, soaring profits, and a 5-year CAGR that makes fintechs blush. But with 79.6% still held by the government, is this a true turnaround or a well-orchestrated illusion?


2. Introduction with Hook

Imagine a kid who flunked every subject till Class 10 suddenly topping JEE Advanced. That’s Bank of Maharashtra.
Once the “why-do-you-exist” PSU, BoM has clocked:

  • 70% profit CAGR in 5 years
  • Net NPA down to a literal rounding error at 0.18%
  • ROE zooming to 23% in FY25

From being the background extra in the PSU drama, BoM now demands a main role. And possibly a dance number.


3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)

Like all banks, BoM collects deposits, gives loans, and tries not to go bankrupt. But let’s break it down:

  • Retail Banking: 39% of revenue in FY24. You, me, your aunt’s fixed deposit.
  • Corporate/Wholesale Banking: 36%. Loans to infrastructure projects, MSMEs, etc.
  • Treasury: 21%. Government bonds, SLR, all that jazz.
  • Others: 4%. FX, fee-based income, perhaps a few lucky guesses.

What’s changed? Retail’s rising share and better credit discipline. They’re finally doing banking… like a bank.
