Standard Chartered Bank plans to raise at least $1 billion through an Indian Depository Receipts (IDR) issue in the local markets.
According to latest reports, the lender has already appointed JM Financial and UBS AG as lead managers for what could be the first IDR issue by a global player.
Apart from this, the bank has also appointed Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Kotak Mahindra to manage the issue.
