The board of directors of Indian Bank approved raising additional long-term infrastructure bonds of up to Rs 5,000 crore. The approved additional funds will be raised over and above the Rs 5,000 crore already raised by the lender in fiscal 2025, according to an exchange filing on Thursday.
The funds will be raised in one or more tranches in the current or subsequent financial years, based on the requirements for funding the infrastructure and affordable housing, it said.

In the current financial year, the board of Indian Bank had approved raising up to Rs 12,000 crore by way of equity and debt.
Previously, in January 2021, the lender had raised Rs 2,000 crore through a Tier-II bond issue at a coupon of 6.18%.
