BENGALURU: India's central bank has granted an "in-principle" approval to Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp (SMBC) for setting up a wholly-owned subsidiary in the country, the regulator said in a statement on Wednesday.SMBC, which last year picked up a 24% stake in Indian lender Yes Bank, was so far operating in India through a branch.
