NSE sought clarification from IDBI Bank after news reports that Finance Minister Sitharaman said the government's divestment in the bank would continue, causing shares to rise 8%. The company clarified that the Strategic Disinvestment is a confidential competitive bidding process handled by DIPAM, and the bank has no role in negotiations. Key timeline shows in-principle approval was received in May 2021, with KPMG and Link Legal appointed as advisors in October 2022. GOI holds 30.48% and LIC holds 30.24% (total 60.72%) stake planned for sale. SEBI has approved re-classification of both GOI and LIC as public shareholders upon completion. The bank states it has not received any update on the current status of the disinvestment.
The bank claims no material impact from the news article, as the disinvestment process is entirely managed by DIPAM. However, continued government divestment signals potential change in ownership structure, which could affect future control and governance of the bank.
