RBL Bank will weigh a fundraising initiative on October 18 that could see the issuance of equity shares or related securities. Sources indicate that Emirates NBD Bank is exploring the possibility of acquiring a stake through a preferential share issue, with informal backing from the Reserve Bank of India.

Indian private lender RBL Bank said on Wednesday it will consider a proposal to raise funds at its board meeting on October 18.
