Purpose
The main objective of this paper is to present a holistic approach for measuring overall bank efficiency
which empirically evaluate the performance of public and private sector banks operating in India.
Design/methodology/approach
A two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model has been employed to assess intermediation and
profitability efficiencies, along with the overall efficiency of banks. In the DEA framework, Overall Technical
Efficiency (OTE), Pure Technical Efficiency (PTE), and Scale Efficiency (SE) have been estimated for all 12
Public Sector Banks (PSBs) and 12 Private Sector Banks (PVTs) using an input-oriented approach.
Furthermore, Tobit regression has been applied to identify the key determinants influencing bank
efficiency. The study covers the period from 2010 to 2024.
