RBL Bank has received all regulatory and governmental approvals for Emirates NBD's proposed strategic investment of approximately USD 3 billion (~₹ 26,850 crore). The investment will be via a preferential issue of up to 959 million equity shares at ₹280 per share, giving Emirates NBD around 60% of the post-issue share capital, with final holding expected between 51%–74%. The deal also envisions amalgamation of Emirates NBD's India branch operations (Mumbai, Chennai, Gurugram) into RBL Bank, subject to further regulatory clearances. Upon completion, Emirates NBD will become the promoter and RBL Bank will operate as a foreign bank subsidiary under RBI's framework.
This is a transformational deal for RBL Bank, bringing in a large foreign capital infusion that will significantly strengthen its balance sheet and growth prospects. However, since Emirates NBD will cross the 30% threshold, a mandatory open offer to minority shareholders will be triggered.
