State Bank of India to raise up to $3 bn via debt in FY25

State Bank of India, the country's largest lender, has approved raising up to $3 billion via debt in the current financial year. The funds will be raised in one or more tranches through a public offer or a private placement of senior unsecured notes denominated in U.S. dollars or another major foreign currency. The purpose of the fund raise was not specified. This move comes as Indian banks are bolstering their capital base to meet increasing loan demand.
