SBI gets 4x bids for Rs 20,000-cr QIP
QIPs are a way for listed companies to raise capital without having to submit legal paperwork to market regulators.
Ten issuances have offered over Rs30,470 crore so far this month. It is the biggest monthly performance of QIPs since September 2020, when companies had collectively raised over Rs39,000 crore.
Driving this surge was the State Bank of India's (SBI) historic QIP on July 17, which mobilised over Rs20,000 crore. The offering drew robust investor interest, with demand reportedly outstripping supply by nearly four times.
According to multiple reports, the SBI QIP has received significant interest from global and domestic investors worth around Rs1 lakh crore. July also saw a flurry of other notable QIP deals. CG Power raised over Rs3,000 crore, while Marathon Nextgen and Navin Fluorine collected Rs900 crore and Rs750 crore, respectively.
Several other mid- and small-cap firms also tapped into institutional funding during the month.
The fundraising momentum in 2025 has remained strong beyond July.
In the year so far, Biocon raised Rs4,500 crore through a QIP, followed by Hitachi Energy (Rs2,500 crore), IREDA (Rs2,000 crore), UCO Bank (Rs2,000 cr), and Capri Global Capital (Rs2,000 cr).
In June alone, seven companies together raised over Rs14,000 crore.
Altogether, 30 companies have raised close to Rs60,000 crore via QIPs so far in 2025. This shows the robust activity seen in 2024, when 95 firms mopped up more than Rs1.37 lakh crore.
