Banknifty majorly consists of PSU banks. I see SBI being the largest contributor to bank nifty index.
HDFC bank should be largest one in banknifty. As the market cap is way more now.
IndusInd Bank should be above bank of baroda and punjab national bank. Recently both these banks were lagger for the index but, the IndusInd Bank has given decent returns.
