Fairfax and Kotak vie for $7B IDBI Bank stake as shares triple in value

IDBI Bank shares remain in focus as Fairfax Financial and Kotak Mahindra Bank emerge as leading contenders to acquire a controlling stake in the lender. The Government of India and LIC are jointly selling a 60.72% stake valued at approximately $7 billion. The bank's stock has tripled since the government announced divestment plans three years ago. Fairfax Financial is reportedly considering an all-cash bid aligned with current market value, whilst Kotak Mahindra Bank is evaluating a cash-and-stock offer. The deal represents one of India's largest banking privatisation efforts, with the outcome expected to significantly impact the country's financial sector landscape.
