Strong Capital and Franchise

The rating agency said the bank’s comfortable capitalisation levels, supported by internal accruals and equity capital raised in FY24, strengthen its credit profile. Union Bank also benefits from majority ownership by the Government of India, which held 74.76 percent of the bank as of December 31, 2025. The bank operates 8,671 branches across India, along with two overseas branches and around 8,300 ATMs.

Margins Face Near-Term Pressure

Despite improvements in earnings and asset quality, CARE Ratings expects some pressure on net interest margins in the near term. The agency noted that faster repricing of loans compared with deposits could moderate profitability, although asset quality is expected to remain stable. Union Bank of India remains the fifth-largest public sector bank in the country by total business, supported by a diversified loan book and a broad national franchise that continues to underpin its credit strength.
