Uco Bank is in the final stages of hiring merchant bankers to raise about ₹1,000 crore in share sales, while its appeal to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) for capital injection on a preferential basis has failed to get a response so far.
Uco chief executive AK Goel on Monday said the bank has approached LIC again and that the insurer would “take a call” on capital infusion. The Kolkata-based lender has been in talks with the country s largest insurer for the last couple of years.
