The expansion underscores the
Bank's commitment to serving India's growing and increasingly diverse banking
needs
Mumbai: As part of its Independence Week celebrations marking
India's 80th year of Independence, Axis Bank, one of the largest private sector
banks in India, inaugurated 50 new branches across the country. The expansion
reflects Axis Bank's continued investment in serving customers across diverse
geographies and economic centres.
As India continues its growth journey, wider
participation in the formal banking system remains crucial to enabling greater
economic progress. Spanning urban, semi-urban and rural markets, the new
branches will bring a comprehensive suite of banking services closer to
customers while complementing the Bank's technology-led banking ecosystem.
Located across West Bengal, Odisha,
Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand, the
branches are designed to deliver a seamless banking experience. Equipped with
ATMs, accessible infrastructure, doorstep banking facilities and regional
language support, they reinforce the Bank's focus on customer convenience,
inclusivity and local market relevance.
Speaking
on the occasion, Mr. Munish Sharda, Executive Director, Axis Bank, said,
"As
India continues to grow, banking has an important role to play in enabling
broader economic participation and supporting aspirations across communities.
The inauguration of 50 branches during Independence Week reflects our
commitment to being present where growth is taking place and where customers
need us most. At the same time, we are investing in new capabilities and
experiences that make banking more convenient, secure, and relevant for a
changing customer base.”
With a
strong on-ground presence across the country, Axis Bank continues to combine
scale with proximity to customers. Serving nearly 54 million customers, the
Bank's domestic network stood at 6,295 branches and 12,564 ATMs and cash
recyclers as of June 30, 2026, with nearly 48% of branches located in rural and
semi-urban markets. This network is further supported by the Bank's Bharat
Banking network of 2,937 branches across 685 districts, enabling it to serve
customers across diverse geographies and economic segments.
Axis Bank
continues to enhance the way customers bank through a combination of
self-service, mobile and branch-led solutions. The Bank has introduced Express
Banking Lobbies, compact self-service digital lobbies that provide
round-the-clock access to services such as account opening, instant card
issuance, cash transactions and bill payments. These innovations are supported
by the Bank's mobile banking platform, ‘open by Axis’, which serves over 16
million monthly active users, and its ‘Branch of the Future’ approach, which
focuses on digitally enabled servicing and faster resolution of customer
requests.
Guided by its dil se open philosophy, Axis Bank
is investing in capabilities that bring together the trust of physical banking
and the convenience of digital solutions, creating meaningful value for
customers across the country.
