State Bank of India (SBI) has completed India’s largest qualified institutional placement (QIP) of ₹25,000 crore, marking a significant capital-raising milestone. The offer received enthusiastic participation, registering a 4.5 times subscription from both Indian and foreign investors, underscoring robust confidence in the bank’s long-term growth potential.

SBI’s ₹25,000 Crore QIP Receives ₹1.10 Lakh Crore Worth Bids

The QIP received offers amounting to ₹1.10 lakh crore from nearly 120 institutional bidders for shares offered worth ₹25,000 crore. This makes it India's largest institutional fundraise through QIP, attracting interest from global names such as BlackRock Group and Marshall Wace, alongside major Indian institutions like LICHDFC Life and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance.

Deep Domestic Participation Supports the Issue

Domestic institutions composed roughly 60% of the bids, with companies including Quant Mutual Fund, White Oak Capital, and several leading mutual and life insurance funds actively participating. There was no single dominant bidder, which illustrates strong, widespread interest across investors looking to add SBI shares to their portfolios.

Favourable Financials and Rare Issuance Attract Investors

SBI had not tapped the equity markets via QIP for 8 years, making this offering particularly attractive to long-term investors. With a capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 14.25% and a CET-1 ratio of 10.81% at the end of March 2025, the bank was already well-capitalised. This QIP will further strengthen Siddhartha’s CET-1 by about 60 basis points.

Share Pricing and Impact on Government Stake

The QIP was priced in the range of ₹806.75 to ₹831.70 per share, representing up to a 3% discount to the market price. Following the issue, the government's shareholding in SBI is expected to decline from 57.43% to approximately 55%.

State Bank of India Share Price Performance

On July 18, 2025, State Bank of India share price opened at ₹832.00 on NSE, above the previous close of ₹829.00. During the day, it surged to ₹832.65 and dipped to ₹822.70. The stock is trading at ₹822.70 as of 9:16 AM. The stock registered a moderate decline of 0.76%.

Over the past week, it has moved up by 1.71%, over the past month, it has moved up by 3.33%, and over the past 3 months, it has moved up by 2.76%.

Conclusion

SBI’s ₹25,000 crore QIP witnessed robust interest with an oversubscription of 4.5 times from a balance of global and domestic investors. The share placement not only marks a pivotal capital infusion for the public sector lender but also reflects strong investor trust in SBI’s ongoing growth and stable financial position.
