RBL Bank

Emirates NBD Bank, one of the Middle East’s largest financial institutions, will open a public offer to acquire up to 26% of RBL Bank starting December 12, 2025. The open offer, priced at Rs. 280 per share, is part of Emirates NBD’s broader plan to secure a 60% stake in the Indian private lender through a preferential share issue and open market purchase. If fully subscribed, the open offer could amount to Rs. 11,636 crore, marking one of the largest foreign investments in India’s financial sector.

RBL Bank shares surged sharply after the announcement of a strategic partnership with Emirates NBD, signaling renewed investor confidence. The deal is expected to enhance cross-border banking operations, expand international trade finance capabilities, and strengthen RBL Bank’s position in the retail and corporate banking sectors. Analysts highlight that the collaboration could drive revenue growth through expanded customer access, innovative financial products, and increased foreign exchange transactions.
