So far this fiscal the bank has raised Rs 449 crore through a preferential issue, Rs 216 crore through a similar route in FY23 and Rs 60 crore through equity in FY22, Kanwal said.

The bank will use the money from the fresh issue to augment its core capital to meet future capital requirements and to improve its capital adequacy ratio.

Anchor investors bidding will be on February 6, he said, adding the offer includes a reservation of up to Rs 13.5 crore for eligible employees.

According to the offer document, 5 per cent of the issue is reserved for qualified institutional buyers and will be available only to mutual funds.
