During its 03 May 2025 meeting the Board of Indian Bank authorized major capital increases to enhance financial stability and promote upcoming growth. The bank plans to increase its equity capital to ₹5,000 crore and AT-1 and Tier-2 bond capital to ₹2,000 crore.
The Board of Indian Bank authorized the equity capital increase up to ₹5,000 crore which includes premium through QIP and FPO and Rights Issue and strategic combinations of these instruments. The bank aims to increase its core capital through this move to achieve a strong capital adequacy ratio and support lending operations.
The Board of Indian Bank authorized the release of ₹2,000 crore worth of Basel III compliant AT-1 perpetual bonds and Tier-2 bonds. The bond issuance will occur in one or multiple tranches throughout this financial year or the upcoming financial years based on market conditions and capital requirements.
The bank received similar approval for FY 2024–25 but it did not conduct market-based capital raises throughout that fiscal year. The new approval establishes conditions for possible fundraising activities during the current financial year based on market readiness and internal requirements.
The Board of Indian Bank launched these strategic initiatives to build capital readiness while strengthening investor confidence about the bank’s future direction.
