AI summary

DCB Bank informed exchanges that RBI, on September 8, 2026, approved ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company to acquire up to 9.95% of the bank's paid-up share capital or voting rights. The approval is subject to compliance with the Banking Regulation Act, RBI share acquisition directions, FEMA and SEBI rules. The acquirer must complete the purchase within one year, else approval lapses, and holding must never exceed 9.95%.

Likely market impact

Signals a large institutional buyer entering near the 10% regulatory threshold, which can lift float and liquidity, but actual buying still needs to happen for any price impact.
