IDFC First Bank raises Rs 4,876 cr by allotting shares to Warburg Pincus firm

New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) Private sector lender IDFC First Bank on Friday said it has mobilised Rs 4,876 crore by allotting convertible cumulative preference shares (CCPS) to Currant Sea Investments B.V., an affiliate company of global growth investor Warburg Pincus. The board of directors of the bank (Board Committee) has on Friday approved the preferential allotment of 81,26,94,722 CCPS of face value of Rs 10 at an issue price of Rs 60 per unit to Currant Sea Investments B.V., aggregating to Rs 4,876 crore, IDFC First Bank said in a regulatory filing. The bank has received in-principle approvals from both BSE and National Stock Exchange of India on May 15, 2025, for the preferential issue, it said. In April this year, IDFC First Bank had approved a preferential allotment, which amounts to a 10 per cent stake in the private lender. For the first quarter ended June 2025, IDFC First Bank had reported a 32 per cent drop in net profit to Rs 463 crore as compared to Rs 681 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal. The total income rose to Rs 11,869 crore during the June quarter of 2025-26 from Rs 10,408 crore in the same quarter of FY25. The bank's asset quality showed deterioration as gross non-performing assets (NPAs) stood at 1.97 per cent of gross advances at the end of the June quarter against 1.90 per cent a year ago. Provisions for the quarter rose significantly to Rs 1,659 crore compared to Rs 994 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal due to slippages in the micro-finance book.

US tariffs to hurt textile, apparel exporters; govt should come to rescue: CITI

New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) The 25 per cent tariff announced by the US will hurt the textile and apparel exports from India and the government should come to the aid of exporters, said the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) on Friday. US President Donald Trump has announced imposition of 25 per cent tariff on Indian exports which will come into effect from August 7. The CITI suggested that the government should facilitate the availability of raw material for the sector at internationally competitive rates to enable the domestic exporters compete with international peers. The decision of the US to substantially reduce tariffs for competing countries like Bangladesh will compound the difficulties for India's textile and apparel exporters, CITI Chairman Rakesh Mehra said. The new US tariff for Bangladesh is 20 per cent, Indonesia and Cambodia 19 per cent each and Vietnam 20 per cent. Currently, China is the biggest exporter of textiles and apparel items to the US, followed by Vietnam, India, and Bangladesh. The US is India's largest market for textile and apparel exports. During January-May 2025, US imports of textile and apparel from India were valued at USD 4.59 billion, a rise of more than 13 per cent compared to the same period last year when the figure stood at USD 4.05 billion. India has set a target of achieving textile exports worth USD 100 billion by 2030. Mehra said CITI looks forward to the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA) between India and the US being in place soon. 'We totally agree with the government that India should always protect its national interests while signing any trade deal to ensure that it is fair, balanced, and equitable for all the parties involved in the agreement," he added.

'A head of state so volatile': Ex-PM Deve Gowda's scathing attack on Trump; praises PM Modi's 'firm stand'

Former PM HD Deve Gowda (PTI image) and US President Donald Trump (AP image) NEW DELHI: Former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda has strongly criticized US President Donald Trump over his recent comments describing India's economy as 'dead.' In a sharp statement issued on Friday, Gowda said Trump's remarks were "baseless and ill-tempered" and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for standing firm in the face of US pressure and for not compromising the nation's interests. Calling Trump 'a head of state so volatile, uncivil and irresponsible,' Gowda said even a small trader or poor farmer in India, who works with dignity and integrity, could teach the US President a lesson in conduct. "There is something fundamentally wrong with him which reason, diplomacy or statecraft cannot diagnose and address", the senior leader said. He added that "It may not be correct to say anything more than this on his ill-tempered nature because it would mean lowering our own standards." The former PM hailed India's democratic and sovereign character, stating that the country has always acted in its national interest. He expressed confidence in India's ability to withstand international pressure and said he was proud of PM Modi for not being threatened by Trump's bullying. "I am very happy and proud that India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not compromised our national interest. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Adam Lambert, 43, Takes off His Makeup and Leaves Us Without Words The Noodle Box Undo It has not blinked to Mr. Trump's bullying and has shown that it will never be dictated by threat," the statement read. Gowda also defended India's economic performance, noting that it remains one of the fastest growing economies in the world and currently ranks fifth globally. Responding to Trump's 'dead economy' jibe, he said the US President was either 'blind or ill-informed." He further warned some Indian opposition leaders who echoed Trump's statements, urging them not to act as 'deluded spokespersons' of the US President. Gowda's statement came after Trump imposed a 25% tariff on all Indian goods starting August 1, following a breakdown in interim trade negotiations between the two countries. In his Truth Social post, Trump also said that India and Russia could 'take their dead economies down together,' sparking strong reactions.
