The primary component of this fundraising plan involves raising equity capital up to ₹6,000 crore. This will be executed partially through various channels, including public issue (FPO), rights issue, private placements (including QIPs), preferential allotment, or a combination thereof to eligible institutions.
In addition to the equity capital, Union Bank of India intends to raise Basel III compliant Additional Tier-1 (AT-1) bonds and Tier-2 bonds, each up to ₹2,000 crore. This includes foreign currency denominated AT1/Tier-2 Bonds.
