Bank of India (BoI) has successfully raised Rs 26.90 billion through 10-year infrastructure bonds at an interest rate of 7.50 per cent via the NSE Electronic Bidding Platform. The issue's base size was Rs 15 billion, with an additional green shoe option of Rs 35 billion. This marks BoI’s third infrastructure bond issuance for the current financial year.
