Shares of YES Bank spiked over 29 per cent in Thursday's session after reports suggested that State Bank of India may pick a stake in the troubled lender.

Meanwhile, shares of SBI fell 4 per cent following the development. ET Now, quoting sources, said the government has asked the state-owned bank to form a consortium of banks to buy a stake in YES Bank. Earlier in January, the chairman of the bank had expressed his strong belief that “some solutions will emerge” to bail out the private lender. YES Bank has so far failed to bring a strategic investor.

Reports recently suggested that the private bank had approached mutual funds for raising fresh equity capital worth $300-$500 million. The private lender had earlier said it has delayed its third-quarter earnings as the bank is reviewing non-binding expressions of interest from four investors. Earlier, a report said the company is seeking to raise fresh equity capital worth $300-$500 million from mutual funds.

Mutual funds have not made any commitment but are interested in the offer, said the report. Shares of YES Bank jumped up to 29 per cent before coming down marginally.

It was trading up 26.11 per cent at Rs 36.95.

SBI was down 3.97 per cent at Rs 270.10.
