The Story in Brief
Shares of state-owned Bank of India fell over 2% on Tuesday after the lender said its board will consider raising up to $1 billion in foreign currency. The fundraise plan is set to be discussed later this week. NDTV Profit reports the drop came as the market reacted to the potential dilution from the proposed issuance.

The market's sharp reaction to Bank of India's fundraise plan may be knee-jerk. Investors should wait for the board's decision on pricing and timing before judging if it is dilutive. The key metric to watch is whether the lender can improve its return on equity with the new capital. If not, the sell-off will prove justified.
