The bank's QIP issue was open for subscription from September 23 to 26, 2024, it said. "The bank received Bids from Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) including Mutual Funds, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), Insurance Companies, etc., to the tune of Rs 41,734 crore for the QIP Issue, which is 16.7 times the base issue size of Rs 2,500 crore and 8.3 times the total issue size of Rs 5,000 crore," it said.
