State Bank of India (SBI) is likely to raise up to Rs 10,000 crore ($1.20 billion) through Basel III-compliant tier-II bonds maturing in 15 years, three merchant bankers said on Thursday.
The country's largest lender is likely to invite coupon and commitment bids for the issue next week, the bankers said.
