Abstract: This paper tries to examine issues of bank consolidation and efficiency for 16 major consolidation deals in India during the period 1995-2013.Using data envelopment analysis (DEA) method of input-oriented efficiency measures and non-parametric median tests and Tobit regression analysis, we find that consolidation improved efficiency in majority of the cases only when pure technical efficiency scores are considered. For overall efficiency and scale efficiency, in majority of the cases there was no significant improvement post consolidation. Further consolidation was a significant determinant for pure technical efficiency but not for overall and scale efficiency. In majority of the cases, the acquirer banks were more efficient than target banks only for pure technical efficiency but not for overall and scale efficiency. Length: 33 pages
