IDBI Bank is in discussions with the Government to examine various fund raising options including a rights issue to fuel its expansion plans in the next two-three years, a top official of the bank said on Friday. "We have approached the Government to evaluate various options including a rights issue to meet the capital requirements in the next 2-3 years," IDBI Bank's Chief Financial Officer R K Bansal said. IDBI Bank's fund requirement over the next 2-3 years will be around Rs 7,000 crore, that would help the banking major to finance its growth plans including overseas expansion, Bansal said. The bank is also considering Tier-I and Tier-II routes to raise funds, Bansal said. Government owns nearly 53 per cent stake in the bank. IDBI Bank has targeted a loan growth of 20 per cent in the current fiscal. It has a capital adequacy ratio of 11.57 per cent.
