State Bank of India has called an Extraordinary General Meeting on June 13, 2025, via video conferencing, to seek shareholder approval for raising equity capital of up to ₹25,000 crore during FY2025-26. The capital can be raised through a Follow-on Public Offer (FPO), Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP), Rights Issue, or any combination of these modes. If executed as a QIP, shares will be allotted only to Qualified Institutional Buyers at a discount not exceeding 5% on the SEBI-determined price, with allotment to be completed within 365 days. The Bank's current Government of India shareholding stands at 56.92%, and the government must hold at least 51% at all times. The Capital Adequacy Ratio was 14.25% as of March 31, 2025. RBI has already approved capital raising via FPO/QIP/preferential allotment until March 31, 2026. Proceeds will be used for long-term funding, growth capital, loans and advances, and strengthening the bank's financial structure.
This is a proposed equity raise, not an immediate dilution. If shareholders approve and SBI proceeds with a QIP or FPO, existing shareholders could face equity dilution. The government's majority stake above 51% will be maintained, so there is no risk of privatisation. Short-term stock price may react to the size of the potential raise (₹25,000 crore is sizeable), but the strong capital adequacy ratio of 14.25% suggests the raise is for future growth rather than urgent need.
