Fundraising & Capital Structure

No immediate plans for fundraising have been decided or moved to the board yet.
The bank's profits range between ₹19,000 to ₹20,000 crores, which comfortably supports absorbing impacts like ECL.
If needed, the bank will consider capital raising in the future, but it has not been finalized.

- Once board permissions are obtained, the bank will share any plans regarding capital raising. - No further dilution is foreseen for Canara HSBC or Canara Robeco stakes as significant dilution (14.5% in Canara HSBC and 13% in Canara Robeco) was already done, generating ₹1,930 crores gains. In summary, while the bank is well capitalized and profits are strong, any future capital raising or fundraising will be considered only if required and after board approval.
