2026 - SBI New Delhi Main Branch | Commemorative Coin

A commemorative coin of ₹100 will be issued to mark the 100 Years of State Bank of India, New Delhi Main Branch. The Ministry of Finance has issued the gazette notification on February 26, 2026.

The centenary year of the State Bank of India’s Delhi Main Branch marks a remarkable milestone in the financial and institutional history of the national capital. Established in 1926 as a branch of the erstwhile Imperial Bank of India, the Delhi Main Branch has witnessed and participated in a century of India’s economic transformation. Over the decades, it has evolved from a colonial-era banking office into one of the most prominent and strategically significant branches of State Bank of India, serving generations of customers with trust and resilience.

Located in the heart of the capital, the Delhi Main Branch has long been associated with key governmental, institutional, and corporate accounts. Its journey parallels the story of modern India itself—through independence, economic reforms, technological revolutions, and the rise of digital banking. When the Imperial Bank was nationalised in 1955 and became the State Bank of India, the Delhi Main Branch transitioned into a new era, aligning its operations with the nation’s developmental priorities and expanding its outreach to diverse segments of society.

For decades, the branch has played a pivotal role in financing infrastructure, supporting public sector initiatives, and facilitating trade and commerce in the capital region. It has also been at the forefront of implementing policy-driven banking reforms, from priority sector lending to financial inclusion initiatives. As India embraced core banking solutions, internet banking, and digital payment ecosystems, the Delhi Main Branch adapted seamlessly, combining heritage with innovation.

The centenary celebration is not merely a commemoration of longevity, but a tribute to the countless employees whose dedication and professionalism have shaped the branch’s legacy. It is also an occasion to acknowledge the trust reposed by customers—ranging from individual account holders to major institutions—who have been integral to its enduring success. Over the years, the branch has stood as a symbol of stability during economic uncertainties and as a catalyst for growth during periods of expansion.

As it enters its second century, the Delhi Main Branch of the State Bank of India continues to embody the core values of integrity, service, and nation-building. The centenary year offers an opportunity to reflect on its rich past while reaffirming its commitment to embracing technology, sustainability, and inclusive growth. With a century of service behind it, the branch remains poised to contribute meaningfully to India’s evolving financial landscape, carrying forward a legacy built on trust, strength, and unwavering public confidence.
