markets security War cover reports Updates Profiles Next year’s shift to risk-based deposit insurance could help depositors make better banking choices

It is heartening that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to adopt a risk-based framework for deposit insurance to replace a one-size-fits-all one which does not distinguish between banks on the basis of their individual risk profiles. This decision was taken on Friday and it follows RBI’s monetary policy statement of October 2025, in which the central bank had proposed a model that abandons a flat premium rate in favour of payments that vary by risk—in this case, of a regular bank failing to meet its obligations to depositors. With this shift slated to come into effect from 2026-27, financially sound banks can expect to save on the price they pay.

Mint for a rare interview at his house near Mumbai’s Peddar Road—other residents in the area, also called the ‘billionaires row’, are Mukesh Ambani and Sajjan Jindal.Unlike the skyscrapers that dot the neighbourhood, Bangur’s home is a two-storeyed haveli called Mohini Mahal. Dressed in a fading lavender polo shirt and black, loose-fitting trousers, one would be forgiven for mistaking the septuagenarian businessman for a retired professor sharing his time-tested thesis with the three scribes. But under that mild demeanour hides one of the corporate sector’s shrewdest strategists.In a 90-minute conversation, Bangur spoke at length about his business philosophy and why Shree Cement—the third-largest cement maker by capacity in India—hasn’t joined the top two players in their inorganic expansion spree.
