Bajaj Finance Opens QIP With 992.25-Rupee Floor Price Per Share

what happened

Bajaj Finance started a qualified institutional placement (QIP) on Wednesday, November 11, aiming to raise capital by selling new equity shares to institutional investors. The QIP special committee set the floor price at 992.25 rupees per share at a meeting the same day. Reuters reported the floor price approval, while TradingView noted that the board had signed off on October 1 and shareholders backed the plan with a special resolution on November 2.

The lender may price the deal up to 5% below the floor, with the final figure set alongside the book-running lead managers. The preliminary placement document and application form, both dated November 11, will go to eligible buyers. The company also said it would file the document with BSE and NSE that day and post it on its investor relations site. The relevant date for the floor price is November 11, 2026.

Shares closed at 1,078.80 rupees on Wednesday, up 1.31% during the session. CNBC-TV18 had earlier reported a planned raise of about 11,700 crore rupees.

why it matters

New shares priced near the market level expand the free float and add supply to the stock, which tends to weigh on the price in the short term. The capital could fund lending growth, but dilution and a possible discount of up to 5% are the main factors traders will watch.
