SBI to raise Rs 20,000 crore in debt capital this fiscal: Chairman Setty
MUMBAI: The nation's largest lender SBI, with a balance sheet north of Rs 67 trillion, will be hitting the debt capital market this fiscal to mop up Rs 20,000 crore bond sale, even though the bank has 'more than sufficient liquidity with which it can lend up to Rs 12 trillion'. Over the weekend, the bank reported a street-beating set of numbers with net income rising 12.5% on-year to Rs 19,160 crore in the June quarter, primarily driven by the gains from treasury operations and better asset quality. 'Last month the board had given us a go ahead for a Rs 20,000 crore debt raising. We will raise the money this fiscal even though there is no need for funds now or in the course of this fiscal as we have sufficient liquidity to lend an additional Rs 12 trillion in fresh loans. It may not be in one tranche as well,' chairman CS Setty told TNIE on the sidelines of announcing the June quarter earnings Friday. The bank expects lending to pick up once the uncertainty about the tariff war is resolved as corporates are holding back taking the money now. The bank has a project finance loan sanctioned, worth Rs 3.89 trillion, which is expected to be disbursed in the remaining period of the fiscal. Another component of the excess liquidity is the Rs 3.75 trillion in excess invested in government bonds under the SLR route, Setty said. The chairman said most of the proposed Rs 20,000 crore debt raising is replacement debt of additional tier 1 capital. This proposed fund raise would be through issuing Basel-III-compliant additional tier 1 and 2 bonds to domestic investors, the bank had said in mid July. It may be recalled that the bank had raised Rs 25,000 crore in a QIP issue making it the largest ever such fund raise through this route in the country. This would add around 30 bps to the core capital which was 11% as of March 2025, said Setty.

State pushes jatropha, ethanol to boost green energy
1 2 Patna: With World Biofuel Day falling on Sunday, residents of the city may recall the late President A P J Abdul Kalam's convocation address at Patna University nearly two decades ago in which he urged the promotion of jatropha plantations and rural biofuel enterprises to meet Bihar's energy needs. Delivering his address at the city's S K Memorial Hall on Dec 30, 2005, Kalam recommended using "chour" land (wetlands) for jatropha cultivation. "Biofuel plants grown in 11 million hectares of wasteland can yield a revenue of Rs 20,000 crore a year and provide employment to over 12 million people, both for plantation and running the oil extraction units," he had said. Although Patna University scientists did not initiate a dedicated project to boost the agricultural production of this biofuel plant in the state, agricultural experts identified 13 districts as suitable for cultivation. Farmers in at least Purnia and Kaimur districts are already growing jatropha commercially, according to Patna University botany department head Birendra Prasad. Prasad added that jatropha, known in Hindi as 'Ratan jot', is among the best sources for biodiesel production. "Besides jatropha, other plants like maize and sugar cane are also being used for the production of ethanol. Growing such petro plants on a larger scale can boost the production of biofuels," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This new air conditioner cools down a room in just seconds News of the Discovery Undo Bihar currently operates 12 ethanol factories, producing a combined 5.65 billion litres, with 60% of output exported to southern states. By 2026, nine new ethanol plants are expected to be established in districts including Bhagalpur, Begusarai, Kaimur, Muzaffarpur, Barh, Jamui, Vaishali and Buxar, according to the state industries department. Recently, the state govt introduced the Bihar Biofuels Production Promotion (Amendment) Policy, 2025, aimed at increasing production of ethanol and compressed bio-gas (CBG) from organic waste materials such as agricultural residue and animal dung. The policy targets pollution reduction and a cleaner environment. Fittingly, the theme for this year's World Biofuel Day is "Biofuels: a sustainable pathway to net zero. " Environmentalist Mehta Nagendra Singh said the policy aligns with Bihar's goal of expanding renewable energy use and contributing to India's net-zero emissions targets. "The policy provides a framework to develop a sustainable biofuel sector in Bihar, attracting investment, creating economic opportunities, and promoting a greener environment," he said.
