State-owned IDBI Bank plans to raise Rs 10,000 crore through issue of rupee bonds and qualified institutional placement route.
The bank will seek shareholders' approval to the plans at its next annual general meeting, IDBI said in a filing to the BSE.
The bank will place the agenda before shareholders to issue equity capital aggregating up to Rs 5,000 crore through various alternative modes, including qualified institutional placement, it said.
Besides, IDBI Bank will also seek permission for issue of rupee bonds aggregating up to Rs 5,000 crore, it added.
The board of directors of the bank at a meeting held today passed these two items to be put before the AGM, the filing said.
