Federal Bank has raised ₹2,500 crore through a qualified institutional placement by allotting 21.55 crore shares to investors at a price of ₹116 a share. The allotment price is about 0.9 per cent lower to the floor price of ₹117.04 fixed earlier by the bank. Federal Bank plans to use the proceeds of the share sale to grow its loan book. The bank seems to have received a strong response from both Indian and foreign institutional investors.
