Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
IDBI Bank told NSE it cannot confirm or deny a media report saying the government is close to accepting a sweetened Fairfax Financial offer for the bank. The bank said the strategic disinvestment is a confidential government process and it has no role in negotiations. It stated it has received no communication from the government on finalising any deal. The disinvestment involves sale of 60.72 percent stake (government 30.48 percent and LIC 30.24 percent).
Stock may stay volatile as Fairfax Financial disinvestment news remains unconfirmed. Investors should wait for an official government announcement.
