Hauling about the Madras city on trains

Madras was the first place in India where trains were introduced. In 1856, Royapuram became the terminus for a line that ran to Walajah Road. On the suburban side, the ball began rolling in the 1900s, and while the network grew, it never quite rivalled those in places such as Mumbai. Then came the MRTS, which never realised its full potential. At present, Metro Rail is the citys latest attempt to get back on track

J&K Banks Outward Surge: Is J&K Paying the Price?

A striking divergence is emerging in the lending pattern of Jammu and Kashmir Bank as its business outside the Union Territory expands at a much faster pace than its traditional home market. While advances in the Rest of India, including Ladakh, grew 30.9 per cent during 2025-26, lending in J&K increased by 9.3 per cent, raising questions over the changing balance between the banks national expansion and growth in its core market. According to the banks March 2026 earnings disclosure, gross advances in the Rest of India, including Ladakh, stood at Rs 48,822 crore as on March 31, 2026, accounting for 39.1 per cent of the banks total gross advances of Rs 1,24,981 crore. Advances in J&K stood at Rs 76,159 crore, accounting for 60.9 per cent of the total. The growth gap is considerably sharper than the difference in the size of the two portfolios. Advances outside J&K increased from Rs 37,292 crore in March 2025 to Rs 48,822 crore in March 2026, registering growth of 30.9 per cent. In comparison, advances within J&K rose from Rs 69,694 crore to Rs 76,159 crore, representing growth of 9.3 per cent. This means the Rest of India portfolio grew at more than three times the rate of the J&K portfolio during the year. The difference becomes even more pronounced when incremental lending is considered. The bank added Rs 11,530 crore to its Rest of India advances during 2025-26, compared with an increase of Rs 6,465 crore in J&K. Consequently, around 64 per cent of the total increase in gross advances during the year came from the Rest of India portfolio, while only around 36 per cent came from J&K. The bank, however, has attributed part of the slower growth in its home market to the disruption caused by the Pahalgam terror attack and its impact on economic activity. A senior bank official, speaking about the impact of the attack on the local economy, said business activity and credit offtake in key geographies had remained affected following the incident. The banks MD and CEO Amitava Chatterjee had also said shortly after the attack that the incident could affect the local economy, although he noted that the banks direct exposure to tourism was relatively limited. The composition of lending also highlights the different character of the two markets. Corporate lending accounts for 79 per cent of gross advances in the Rest of India, according to the banks disclosure. Personal loans account for 12 per cent, while agriculture, SME and trade constitute 3 per cent, 3 per cent and 2 per cent respectively. In J&K, the portfolio is considerably more diversified. Personal loans account for 49 per cent of gross advances, followed by agriculture at 15 per cent, SME at 14 per cent, trade at 12 per cent and corporate lending at 7 per cent. Thus, the banks expansion outside J&K is being driven predominantly by corporate lending, whereas its home-market portfolio has much greater exposure to individual borrowers, agriculture, small businesses and trade. The geographical expansion is also being accompanied by a changing recruitment strategy, according to sources familiar with the banks plans. Sources said J&K Bank is moving towards a pan-India recruitment model for positions linked to its operations outside J&K. According to them, vacancies attached to branches in cities such as Delhi would be filled through a wider recruitment pool rather than being restricted to candidates from J&K. Earlier, regular recruitment was restricted to permanent residents of the erstwhile State of J&K. With the banks expansion outside J&K, the recruitment model is also being aligned with the location of its operations, sources said. The claim, however, needs to be distinguished from the banks current apprenticeship programme. The latest apprenticeship notification already provides geographically earmarked positions outside J&K and Ladakh, but apprenticeships are not regular jobs. J&K Banks 2026-27 apprenticeship notification provides for 614 positions. Of these, 461 are in J&K, 18 in Ladakh and 135 in locations outside J&K and Ladakh. The bank has separately categorised the latter as ROI - Vacancy Distribution (outside UT J&K and Ladakh). The 135 positions outside the two Union Territories include 42 in Delhi, 26 in Mumbai and Greater Mumbai, 20 in Lucknow, 19 in Bengaluru and 28 in Mohali. They account for nearly 22 per cent of the total apprenticeship intake. The present apprenticeship exercise cannot, however, be described as regular employment. The notification provides for a 12-month apprenticeship and states that an apprentice has no right to claim employment with the bank after completion. The recruitment shift being cited by sources would nevertheless represent a significant departure from the banks earlier regular recruitment framework. In its 2018 recruitment notification for Banking Associates, J&K Bank had invited applications from permanent residents of J&K State. The notification also stated that selected candidates could be posted anywhere in India. Thus, before 2019, eligibility for regular recruitment was linked to permanent residency of the erstwhile State, even though employees recruited through the process could subsequently be posted outside J&K. The present model, if implemented for regular recruitment as described by the sources, would represent a different approach, with recruitment for outside-J&K operations being aligned with the geographical location of the vacancies. The broader transformation in the banks geographical footprint is already evident. J&K Banks 2024-25 annual report stated that the bank had 1,019 branches, including IARBs, spread across 18 states and four Union Territories as of March 31, 2025. The developments raise a larger question for J&K, where the bank has historically occupied a much more significant position in the financial ecosystem than an ordinary commercial bank.
