At the time of independence in 1947, India's capital market was relatively under-developed. Although there was significant demand for new capital, there was a dearth of providers. Merchant bankers and underwriting firms were almost non-existent and commercial banks were not equipped to provide long-term industrial finance in any significant manner.

BNP Paribas was one of the first banks to start a dialogue with India in 1860 begining operations in Calcutta (renamed Kolkata). In those days, the Bank was known as the Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris (CNEP). We have since then spread our branches to eight key metros & mini metros and widened and enriched our product repertoire.
