The board of State Bank of India (SBI) on Wednesday gave a nod for raising equity capital up to Rs 15,000 crore in the next financial year to shore up capital adequacy. The approval is given to raise equity capital through routes like follow-on public offering (FPO), rights offering, overseas placement and employee stock options, SBI informed the BSE.
