The shares were issued at a price above the floor price of Rs 811.05 per share. 'The book received robust demand and was oversubscribed 4.5 times, reflecting strong investor confidence in SBI's strategy and the outlook for India's banking sector,' SBI said. The offering received an overwhelming response, with total subscriptions amounting to Rs 1.12 lakh crore. Foreign investors accounted for 64.3 per cent of total demand, underscoring the attractiveness of India's growth story. Marquee long term investors received 88 per cent of the final allocation, including 24 per cent of the issue size placed with foreign long-term investors, it said. SBI shares closed 0.11 per cent higher at Rs 824.20 on the BSE on Monday.

We are grateful to both domestic and international investors for their overwhelming support, which also speaks volumes about the current strength and future potential of the Indian economy.' The capital infusion will strengthen SBI's Common Equity Tier-1 (CET-1) buffer, which is set to rise from 10.81 per cent as of March 31, 2025, to 11.50 per cent. This will enable the bank to support measured credit growth across the retail, MSME, and corporate segments.

CM to launch 1 crore plantation drive, steel plant construction in Gadchiroli
Nagpur: A plantation drive that should take care of 10% of the state's 10 crore saplings target for increasing green cover will commence at Gadchiroli on Tuesday. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis will kick-start the plantation of one crore saplings in the Maoist-affected district. On the same day, he will also lay the foundation stone of an integrated steel plant being built by Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited (LMEL) at Konsari village in the district. The steel plant is expected to bring an economic metamorphosis in the district. Gadchiroli district collector Avishyant Panda said, "We are ready with 40 lakh saplings which will be planted during this monsoon season itself. The remaining 60 lakh will be planted within two years, and nurseries are being readied to ensure that the target is met." He added, "This is not just a plantation campaign; it's a movement now." "The 40 lakh saplings have been mainly sourced from the forest department, specifically the Forest Development Corporation of Maharashtra (FDCM), which has a huge nursery bank. For the remaining 60 lakh, we have mobilised funds from the Compensatory Afforestation Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) too," said the collector. Later, at Konsari, after laying the foundation stone of the steel plant, Fadnavis will also inaugurate the first phase of a 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) iron ore grinding plant at Hedri in Gadchiroli district, a 10 MTPA capacity slurry pipeline from Hedri to Konsari, and a 4.5 MTPA capacity pellet plant at Konsari. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Extraspacious 3 and 4 BHKs from 6.76 Cr* in Mahalaxmi 7 Mahalaxmi, Runwal Group Book Now Undo The integrated steel plant is proposed to have a capacity of 4.5 MTPA. Fadnavis will also inaugurate a 100-bedded hospital, a CBSE pattern school at Konsari, apart from performing a ground breaking ceremony of the company's township. The steel complex and other units by LMEL mark a new chapter for the district. It has emerged as a source of employment for locals, and even surrendered Maoists have taken up jobs in LMEL, said a note shared with TOI. They have been trained by the company in industry-oriented skills and absorbed into jobs to aid the process of integrating them into the mainstream of society. LMEL managing director B Prabhakaran said that more than 140 years ago, Gadchiroli could have been the birthplace of the Indian steel industry. Now, it's time for the district to shine. His statement referred to Jamsetji Tata's plan to start steel making at Gadchiroli, which was dropped as there was no rail connectivity at that time. The integrated steel plant, for which the foundation stone will be laid, is also a step towards the country's vision of making 'Green Steel', said Prabhakaran.

LU to offer foreign students courses on Indian culture, economy
1 2 Lucknow: In a move to foster global academic collaboration and cultural exchange, Lucknow University will introduce non-credit courses for international students across three domains — Hindi language, Indian economy, and Indian Culture — from the 2025-26 academic session. The courses will offer international students an immersive understanding of India's diverse linguistic, economic, and cultural landscape. The initiative also aligns with India's growing focus on educational diplomacy and internationalisation of higher education. Scheduled to begin after Aug 12, the launch of these courses will coincide with the arrival of newly-admitted international students on campus. Though these courses will not carry academic credits, they are intended as supplementary learning experiences to deepen students' engagement with India beyond the classroom. According to LU officials, the objective is to help international students connect with the Indian ethos and contextual realities, leading them to experience India not just as a place of study, but as a living culture.
