SBI Stock Surge: PSU Banks Rally as SBI Mutual Fund IPO Filing Boosts Market Sentiment
SBI Shares Rise Amid Broader PSU Bank Rally
State Bank of India (SBI) shares gained 1.75% in intra-day trade, reaching Rs 1,067, as the broader market remained firm. This surge is part of a 0.9% increase in the Sensex, which rose 650 points to 74,863 by 12:50 pm. The Nifty also gained, surpassing 23,200.
The gain in SBI shares follows the filing of draft papers by its joint venture asset manager, SBI Funds Management, with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The proposed listing will be an offer for sale by promoters State Bank of India and Amundi India, with no fresh issue component.
As the largest asset manager in the country, SBI Mutual Fund has assets under management exceeding Rs 12.6 lakh crore as of December 2025. The proposed listing is seen as a key value unlocking trigger for SBI, given the scale and profitability of its mutual fund business.
