Bro, the current total limits as per credit report is around 1.5-1.75X of post tax income incl. bonus.
The thing is just before applying SBI I closed a kotak cc which had a limit of 2L.
The major >50% constituent of my available limit is my ICICI core and Apay (Both have a limit of 5.8L but I haven't used core in the last yr or more and it shows 5.2 in credit reports). My axis, indus,AU, HDFC have a combined limit of 9.5L. Which means once kotak is removed from my report my available limit will be less than 1.5X of income.
How do I reduce limits? You mean by surrendering the limit (if it is a feature) or by limiting it using netbanking, in that case I can put the limit of my ICICI cards to 2L each as I don't use them much now.
I also hold a SBI corporate CC (office issued it, I don't think it would be reported in my reports as I am not liable for it)

Can't close any of these cards as (Indus is Pinnacle and I need Int. lounge and 0 forex.)

Also, do they consider loans too?
Also, during my SBI application, I was able to put only half of my name as putting full name (9 alphabets) caused issues due to which either I couldn't put DOB or would get error to try again later, application got through with half name.

Sorry for the long reply, thanks.
