Ownership
Branch of HSBC Holdings plc (headquartered in London); operates in India as branches of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited โ€” not a separately incorporated Indian subsidiary
๐Ÿข
Network
~26 branches (last publicly reported) across major Indian cities; RBI approved 20 additional branches in Jan 2025 โ€” the largest such approval for a foreign bank in over a decade. Deliberately small, digitally-led retail footprint vs. domestic banks, backed by a strong corporate, trade and wealth-banking presence

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Leadership โ€” CEO, India

Current

Hitendra Dave

CEO, India, HSBC โ€” in office since June 2021 (initially as interim CEO, confirmed following regulatory approval). Has around 30 years' experience in Indian financial markets, over 20 of them with HSBC, and previously headed HSBC India's Global Banking & Markets business before taking over as CEO.

Note on Operating Structure

HSBC India is not a separately incorporated Indian company. It operates as branches of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (a subsidiary of London-headquartered HSBC Holdings plc), licensed by the RBI under its foreign bank branch framework. The senior-most executive in India therefore holds the title CEO, India โ€” not "MD & CEO" as at Indian-incorporated banks โ€” and reports into HSBC's Asia-Pacific regional management line.

Total Deposits / Advances / Gross & Net NPA / CRARNot separately published in standalone form for the India branch in the sources reviewed for this page
HSBC reports its India results as part of its Group's Asia geographic segment on a Januaryโ€“December (calendar year) basis, rather than the Aprilโ€“March Indian fiscal year used by domestically incorporated banks, and as profit-before-tax by global business line rather than a full India-only balance sheet. The CY2023โ€“CY2024 figures above are compiled from HSBC's Group results commentary and Indian financial press coverage; exact figures vary slightly by source and are marked accordingly. Standalone Indian-GAAP financials (deposits, advances, gross/net NPA, CRAR) for the India branch are published in HSBC India's own Annual Report and Basel III Pillar 3 disclosures but could not be independently verified within this session โ€” always check the official Annual Reports & Pillar 3 Disclosures page before making financial decisions.
