SBI Targets $10 Billion from NRIs and Foreign Investors Ahead of RBI Swap Window Closure
State Bank of India (SBI) aims to raise around USD 10 billion from non-resident Indians and foreign investors before the Reserve Bank of India's concessional swap window closes on August 31. SBI Chairman C S Setty highlighted that most funds will come from deposits, with visibility on External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) extending beyond the swap window. The bank plans to double its total business to approximately Rs 200 lakh crore by 2030, coinciding with its platinum jubilee.
