Banking wrap: Private lenders tap capital markets for equity; Yes Bank decides to raise $2 bn via preferential allotment

The country’s banking sector is currently marred with rising bad loans and weak credit demand, but investor appetite to own a piece of stake in an Indian lender remains intact.

While CSB Bank received overwhelming response from investors in its public issue last week, other private lenders -- Yes Bank and RBL Bank -- have announced their plans to raise funds via preferential allotment and private placement of shares, respectively.

Eight new investors have expressed interest in acquiring fresh stake in the bank. These include three institutional investors and five family offices, the private lender said after almost 12-hour long board meeting that was held on November 29. RBL Bank to raise Rs 825.79 crore through private placement of shares RBL Bank, on November 30, announced that it will raise Rs 825.7 crore through the private placement of shares.

According to a release, the bank will issue 24,238,310 shares at a price of Rs 340.70 per share, and with a face value of Rs 10 for each share among five investors. It will raise Rs 8,25,79,92,217 from the issue.

DHFL resolution: What happens to public deposits?

As the troubled Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL) heads for resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), a big question that remains unanswered is what will happen to the public deposits of Rs 6,000 crore stuck in the housing finance company (HFC). According to experts, DHFL’s depositors need to gear up for a haircut after a long-drawn legal process. The haircut may not be much if the HFC is able to attract valuable bids from new investors. However, the ongoing fraud investigations may hamper the HFC’s value and keep bidders at bay.
