MUMBAI, May 30, 2010 (AFP) - British bank Standard Chartered on Sunday said it had raised 530 million dollars through a first-of-a-kind sale of shares in India. The lender, which makes most of its profits in Asia, will issue 240 million Indian Depository Receipts (IDRs) at a price of 104 rupees each, the bank said in a statement.

The bank's offering, which closed Friday, was more than twice oversubscribed, with interest coming from institutional investors and "high-net worth individuals".

Foreign companies are not allowed to list shares directly in India and Standard Chartered, which makes most of its profits in Asia, is the first foreign company to list in the country through the IDR route.

IDRs are rupee-denominated certificates similar to US Depository Receipts that show ownership of shares in an overseas firm, with every 10 IDRs representing one Standard Chartered share.

Allotment of the shares is expected on or around June 7, the bank said.
