State-owned banks, including SBI and Bank of Baroda, aimed to raise nearly ₹20,000 crore by month's end through debt markets, responding to a credit growth outpacing deposit growth. SBI planned to raise ₹5,000 crore-10,000 crore with tier-2 bonds, and Canara Bank would issue AT-1 bonds worth up to ₹4,000 crore to meet financial demands.
