State Bank of India Approves Up to $2 Billion Overseas Bond Issuance for FY27

The State Bank of India (SBI) has approved plans to raise up to USD 2 billion in FY27 through overseas bond issuances. The fundraising may occur in single or multiple tranches via public offers or private placements of fixed or floating rate bonds denominated in US dollars or other major currencies under Reg-S 144A. This move aims to diversify SBI's funding base and support business growth amid improving financial performance and a decline in India's foreign exchange reserves.
