Govt receives revised financial bids for IDBI Bank stake sale: Report

The government has received revised financial bids for the strategic sale of IDBI Bank from Fairfax Financial Holdings and Emirates NBD, sources said on Tuesday. A final decision on the successful bidder will be taken once the financial bids are opened, which is likely very soon, sources added. According to sources, both the bidders have experience in the Indian banking sector, with Dubai-based Emirates NDB acquiring RBL Bank earlier this year and billionaire investor Prem Watsa-backed Fairfax Financial already holding a 40 per cent stake in the private-sector CSB Bank. Both the bidders already have security clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and 'Fit and Proper' assessment from the RBI. The government and LIC were together looking to sell 60.72 per cent in IDBI Bank and had floated an Expression of Interest (EoI) in October 2022. Financial bids came on February 6. However, the financial bids from Fairfax Financial Holdings and Emirates NBD were below the reserve pr

Govt likely to consider OFS option for raising public float in IDBI Bank

The government may consider selling a stake in IDBI Bank through the Offer-for-Sale (OFS) route to increase public shareholding, after the unsuccessful attempt to divest stake in the LIC-controlled lender, sources said. Currently, the public float in IDBI Bank is only 5.29 per cent, limiting the scope of fair valuation. The remaining shares are with insurance behemoth Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), with a controlling stake at 49.24 per cent, while the Government of India (GoI) holding stood at 45.48 per cent. Earlier this month, the proposed sale of a 60.72 per cent majority stake, held jointly by the government and the LIC, was scrapped after financial bids from two potential buyers reportedly fell short of the reserve price. Low free float restricts the scope for fair market valuation, and expanding this by 10 per cent or 15 per cent would make price discovery more reliable, sources said.

IDBI Bank strategic sale scrapped as financial bids below reserve price

The strategic sale of IDBI Bank is likely to have been scrapped as the financial bids put in by potential buyers were below the reserve price, sources said on Friday.
