Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
RBL Bank has responded to NSE's query about a news article stating that Dubai-based Emirates NBD Bank was considering acquiring a minority stake in RBL Bank, which had caused the stock to drop around 2%. The Bank clarified that it routinely evaluates various growth opportunities in the ordinary course of business but has no undisclosed information that would require disclosure under SEBI LODR Regulation 30. It stated it is not aware of any undisclosed information explaining the share price movement and confirmed there is no material impact of the article on the Bank.
The Bank has effectively denied the Emirates NBD stake acquisition rumour, which may help stabilise the stock after the 2% drop, but continued uncertainty around potential investor interest could keep the shares volatile in the near term.
