Both the bank groups did not show diseconomies with respect to total cost even though there are diseconomies in other individual cost items. The minimum efficient sizeCost Efficiency minimum efficient size (MES) was attained by all the public sector banks at much small size in each of the years selected. Majority of the public sector banks found to have positive growth in total factor productivity, and half of them recorded productivity change by 1.26–1.50 score values and 2 banks even recorded a change of more than 1.50 during 1991–1992 to 2014–2015.
