The preferential allotment has been described as an expression of confidence in the lender by the promoters and investors. Kathpalia stated that the bank is well-capitalized with a CRAR of 15.3% as od June 2020, which will see an increase up to 16.5% after the fund-raising.

Kathpalia thanked the bank’s existing shareholders for their trust and support and welcomes the new shareholders. He called the capital raise from foreign and domestic shareholders as strategic for the company as this will help them strengthen their balance-sheet and position the bank after the economy navigates out of the pandemic. He further said that the capital raised is a reflection of the continuous support and confidence of the promoters in the bank. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup Global Markets India are the financial advisors, and S&R Associates are the legal counsel of the bank for the issue.
