SBI Sets Floor Price for QIP
SBI, India’s largest public sector bank, has initiated a QIP to raise fresh capital from institutional investors. The bank has set the floor price at ₹811.05 per share, aligning with SEBI’s pricing formula. The fund-raising effort aims to support SBI’s expansion, strengthen its balance sheet, and ensure compliance with capital adequacy norms.

Following the QIP announcement, SBI shares surged over 1% intraday, hitting their highest level in calendar year 2025. Market analysts attribute the rally to strong investor confidence in SBI’s fundamentals and its strategic capital infusion.

The QIP is expected to garner interest from foreign and domestic institutional investors, offering the bank an efficient method of raising capital without diluting retail holdings significantly.
Objective of the Fundraise
SBI will use the QIP proceeds for business growth, provisioning, and infrastructure development. Moreover, the capital will help SBI maintain adequate buffers amid evolving regulatory standards and increasing loan demand in retail and infrastructure sectors.
What’s Next for Investors?
The QIP may open as early as this week, depending on market conditions. SBI’s board has also offered a 5% discount on the final allotment, if deemed necessary. Investors and analysts are closely monitoring the offering, which could influence banking stock sentiment across the board.
