The bank has indicated that the capital may be raised in one or more tranches through a range of equity instruments. These may include qualified institutional placements (QIPs), follow-on public offers (FPOs), rights issues, preferential allotments to institutional investors such as LIC and mutual funds, and SEBI-regulated employee share benefit schemes. This multi-channel approach will provide flexibility and help the bank tap into various investor classes as required through FY2025–26.
Shareholders have also authorised the issuance of equity shares worth up to Rs. 4,000 crore to permanent employees under the IOB-ESPS 2025–26 scheme. This move is expected to align employee interests with the long-term goals of the bank while offering an ownership stake as a retention incentive.

In addition to the capital raise, all eight resolutions presented at the AGM were approved. These included the adoption of the FY2024–25 annual report, appointment of directors, and reappointment of the secretarial auditor. Shareholders also approved the continuation of three government-nominated directors—B. Chandra Reddy, Deepak Sharma, and Suresh Kumar Rungta—for one-year terms starting from 11 April 2025. These appointments are part of regular board updates carried out in consultation with the Department of Financial Services.
Indian Overseas Bank plans to utilise the raised capital to accelerate growth in its retail, SME, and corporate lending segments. Additionally, the bank aims to strengthen its digital banking infrastructure, enabling more efficient customer service and better digital outreach in the coming years. The focus on both credit growth and technology upgradation signals a forward-looking approach as the bank adapts to evolving customer needs and competitive dynamics.
The Rs. 4,000 crore capital raise is expected to improve the bank’s financial strength and operational reach, which could influence Indian Overseas Bank share price over the next few quarters. As the capital is deployed towards lending and digital infrastructure, investor sentiment may shift positively. Indian Overseas Bank share price could also respond to greater visibility in earnings growth and capital adequacy improvements, provided the bank maintains consistency in execution.
