Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Cabinet approved Fairfax's acquisition of a stake in IDBI Bank for about Rs 52,878 crore, described as strategic restructuring. The bank clarified that the strategic disinvestment is being handled by the government through DIPAM via competitive bidding, and IDBI Bank had no role in the negotiations. The bank confirmed it has complied with all SEBI disclosure rules and has nothing else to share beyond the Oct 14 disclosures.
Major ownership shift to Fairfax likely after regulatory approvals, which could bring strategic changes for shareholders.
