Suryoday Small Finance Bank is set to launch its initial public offering on March 17 and looks to raise about Rs 580 crore. The issue will close on March 19.

“The price band of the offer has been fixed at ₹303 to ₹305 per equity share,” the bank said in a statement, adding that it proposes to use the net proceeds from the fresh issue towards augmenting Tier – 1 capital base to meet its future capital requirements.
