 "ICICI Bank to sell part of its stake in ICICI Lombard via IPO")
Country's largest private lender ICICI Bank said on Monday its board had approved the sale of a part of its stake in ICICI Lombard General Insurance Co in an initial public offering (IPO).
The bank said in a stock exchange filing that the IPO size and other details of the offer would be determined in due course.
ICICI Lombard, the largest private sector non-life insurer in the country, is a joint venture of ICICI Bank and Fairfax Financial Holdings.
