The price was at a 4.94% discount to the floor price of Rs 29.94 per share. The QIP, which opened on June 1, was fully subscribed and received a strong response from domestic as well as foreign investors, the bank said. Life Insurance Corporation of India took up the biggest chunk of shares with an allotment of 8.34 crore shares, which is nearly 24% of the capital raised.
The capital raised through QIP will not only strengthen the capital adequacy ratio of the bank but also support growth, the bank said. This will also help the lender to reduce the government stake from 91%.
