The private lender managed to raise Rs 14,267 crore in-spite of a not so positive response from the retail investors. However the shortfall or the unsubscribed portion of the FPO will be allotted to SBI Capital Markets.
SBI Capital Markets had agreed to underwrite Rs 3000 crore worth of shares for a price which is equal to the lower end of the price band of the FPO.
Institutional Investors, Anchor investors contributed over Rs 10,000 crore, retail investors invested Rs 2,420 crore while HNIs invested Rs 1,400 crore and employees contributed Rs 65 crore.
