Indian Masterminds Stories

Mumbai/New Delhi: The State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest lender, officially launched its much-anticipated Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) of equity shares on July 16, setting a floor price of ₹811.05 per share, as per regulatory filings. The QIP aims to raise up to ₹25,000 crore, marking one of the largest equity fundraising efforts in Indian banking history.

According to SBI’s exchange notification, the Central Board of the Bank approved the floor price in compliance with SEBI’s ICDR Regulations. The issue price will be finalized in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers (BRLMs) appointed for the transaction.

SBI also confirmed the adoption of its Preliminary Placement Document dated July 16, 2025, filed with BSE and NSE, initiating formal steps toward completing the institutional share sale.

Discount Option Backed by Shareholders

In accordance with SEBI’s ICDR rules and a special resolution passed by shareholders on June 13, 2025, the bank is permitted to offer up to a 5% discount on the floor price. This means the issue price may be set as low as approximately ₹770.50 per share, subject to market response and institutional investor demand.

Market Response & Stock Performance

On the day of the announcement, SBI shares closed at ₹830.50 on the BSE, up 1.72%, reflecting positive investor sentiment surrounding the capital-raising initiative. The QIP is expected to strengthen the bank’s capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and support future growth across retail and corporate lending segments.

Strategic Context

This QIP comes as part of SBI’s broader effort to:

  • Boost capital buffers ahead of rising credit demand,
  • Comply with Basel III norms, and
  • Prepare for a sustained expansion in domestic infrastructure and private sector lending.

The move is SBI’s first QIP since 2017, when it raised ₹15,000 crore.
