State Bank of India (SBI) is reportedly in advanced discussions to downsell half of its approximately ₹11,000-crore loan exposure to the Adani Group's Ganga Expressway project. SBI is engaging with institutions like the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID), Punjab National Bank (PNB), and power finance companies for the downselling. The move follows the standard practice in infrastructure financing, allowing banks to diversify risk by selling portions of large loan exposures. At least four lenders have shown interest in acquiring the debt from SBI.
