₹25,000 cr QIP shows investor confidence, to boost credit growth: SBI chief
Speaking at a ceremony at the NSE to mark the the fund raise as India's biggest share sale ever, Setty said the capital will be deployed for asset growth Press Trust of India Mumbai SBI chairman C S Setty on Wednesday said the ₹25,000-crore capital raise through the qualified institutional placement (QIP) route is a vote of confidence on the country's largest lender and also the Indian economy. Speaking at a ceremony at the NSE to mark the the fund raise as India's biggest share sale ever, Setty said the capital will be deployed for asset growth. He also said that even before the QIP, the bank was in a position to support asset growth of up to ₹6 lakh crore, but the fund raise will be of help for it. "This landmark equity issue is a vote of confidence in SBI's strong fundamentals, potential risk management and the customer centricity with the digital first approach," Setty said. Thanking the investors led by state-run life insurance behemoth LIC for the response to the issue, which received bids of over ₹1.12 lakh crore and was over-subscribed by over four times, Setty also spelled out the revised capital levels. The common equity tier-I capital will increase to 11.5 per cent, he said, adding that the bank's objective is to take the level up to 12 per cent. The bank is all set to book gains from its share sale in Yes Bank and also has a slew of other assets including stakes in its insurance arms from where it can raise more funds. Setty said nearly two-thirds of the investors in the recent issue were from outside the country, and added that the same provides confidence to all stakeholders. Meanwhile, in a note published on Monday, global ratings agency Moody's Investors Service said the bank will be able to post a credit growth of 12 per cent in FY26, at par with the banking system growth. The agency affirmed the bank's Baa3 rating and also upgraded the baseline credit assessment while maintaining a stable outlook. "SBI's strongest retail franchise amongst Indian banks, access to low-cost deposits, and sufficient holdings of liquid government securities support its funding and liquidity," the agency said. The upgrade of the bank's BCA is driven by our expectation that the bank's internal capital generation along with opportunistic external capital raise will improve its capitalisation over the next 12-18 months, bringing its standalone credit profile in line with the other similarly rated peers, it said. SBI's adequate net interest margin, diversified non-interest income and low credit cost support its profitability, it said. However, the bank's profitability is set to moderate in the next couple of quarters because of policy rate cuts feeding through its lending rates, the agency said, adding that a gradual lowering of funding costs in the latter half of the fiscal year will be of help to the bank. The bank scrip closed 0.71 per cent up at ₹820.75 apiece on the BSE on Wednesday as against gains of 0.66 per cent in the benchmark.

Bad news for Mukesh Ambani as loses Rs 660000000000 due to…, not US, but EU finds way to kill Russian oil
The European Union has imposed a ban on the import of Russian oil from third countries which means no EU nation can now import Russian-origin crude or refined products irrespective of where it is processed or shipped from. This move can impact India, which was exporting around $15 billion of refined petroleum products annually to European markets. With this new restriction, that entire revenue stream is now at risk. EU's Move Hits India Hard In recent weeks, former U.S. President Donald Trump had made statements of curbing trade in Russian oil, but they had little impact on countries like India and China. However, the EU's latest decision has given a serious blow to Mukesh Ambani. On Monday, after the EU's announcement, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) shares declined over 3%, wiping out more than Rs 66,000 crore in market capitalisation. The new EU rule bans the import of Russian oil, even if it is refined in a third country like India. This directly affects companies like Reliance Industries, one of India's largest exporters of refined crude oil products to Europe. India's Oil Trade With Russia and Europe According to reports, India exported $19.2 billion worth of petroleum products to the EU in FY24. However, in FY25, this number dropped by 27.1% to $15 billion, after growing scrutiny over the origin of crude used. At the same time, India imported $50.3 billion of crude oil from Russia in FY25, so Russian oil now accounts for over 44% of India's total crude basket. Big Blow To Reliance Industries The impact can be seen on Reliance Industries, which has become the largest importer of Russian crude oil. In December 2024, RIL signed a 10-year deal with Russia's Rosneft to import around 500,000 barrels per day of Russian crude at around $13 billion annually. This move helped RIL to refine the cheaper Russian crude and export the high-margin products, especially diesel, to Europe. As of October 2024, Reliance was importing an average of 405,000 barrels per day from Russia which was over one-third of its total crude oil intake. With Russian crude priced $3–4 per barrel cheaper than Middle Eastern grades, RIL had been benefiting from healthy refining margins and strong demand in European markets. But the EU's ban has now threatens this business model. Reliance Industries Lost 66,000 Crore After the EU's decision, Reliance shares fell sharply. On the BSE, RIL stock closed at Rs 1,428.20, down 3.29% from the previous close. During the session, it hit a day's low of Rs 1,423.05. The stock had opened at Rs 1,474.95, slightly below its previous close of Rs 1,476.85. The decline resulted in a massive hit to Reliance's market capitalisation. On Friday, the company's market cap was at Rs 19,98,543.22 crore. By the end of Monday's trading session, it had fallen to Rs 19,32,707.74 crore which was a drop of Rs 65,835.48 crore in a single day.
