SBI Shares Gain Nearly 2% as PSU Banks Rally on SBI Mutual Fund IPO Filing
March 20, 2026, 5:02 AM EDT. Shares of State Bank of India (SBI) rose 1.75% on Friday amid a broader rally in public sector undertaking (PSU) banks. The surge followed the filing of draft papers by SBI Funds Management, SBI's asset management arm, for a high-profile initial public offering (IPO) with regulator Sebi. The IPO will be an offer for sale by promoters with no fresh issue, seen as a key step to unlock value in SBI, India's largest mutual fund manager with assets over Rs 12.6 lakh crore. Benchmark indices strengthened, with the Sensex up 0.9% and the Nifty crossing 23,200. The development has lifted sentiment across banking stocks, particularly in the Nifty Bank index.
