There is a good chance that several large private sector banks may get their shine back on the street. Yet, it is probably time to look at some other banks which don't make the headlines often. There is a set of mid-sized banks which don't have the distribution reach of large, private banks. When it comes to ownership, they are not like PSU banks. They have a different, hybrid kind of ownership, making them sort of quasi-private sector banks. They operate in particular regions, and over a period of time, they have also been forced to clean up their act. They have moved up in the last one year, but that is probably the case with every stock on the bourse. The question is: Can their re-rating be sustained? The answer lies in looking back at what made things happen the way they did.
