The Government of India, Reserve Bank of India and bank managers, in general, favour bank consolidation for various reasons. They support consolidation to create a few large global banks, to achieve rapid growth and to gain from economies of scale and scope. However, international studies and Indian studies on bank mergers indicate that the evidence in favour of bank mergers is mixed, at best. Hence, this study was conceived to analyse the effect of market-driven Indian bank-to-bank mergers on stockholders during the post-reform period, 1999 2014. Event study analysis was performed using the market model with BSE-500 stock index as the reference index. Each merger announcement was considered as an event and daily stock returns in a 30-day time window were computed before and after the event.
