State-owned Bank of India (BoI) today said it has raised $750 million from overseas market through bonds.

"The offering was split between the existing bonds maturing in 2015 ($250 million) and a fresh 10-year tranche ($500 million) maturing in 2021," BoI informed the Bombay Stock Exchange.

The bond offer received orders from more than 280 investors across fund managers, private banks and insurance companies in Asia and Europe, it said.
