IDBI Bank share price rallied as much as 3 per cent to ₹105.16 on NSE in Monday’s trading session following reports that the government is preparing to invite financial bids for the bank.
According to CNBC-TV18, the Centre is nearing the finalisation of a share purchase agreement with prospective buyers and may soon seek clearance from the ministerial panel overseeing the transaction.
The stake sale in IDBI Bank, which has seen several delays over the past three years, is viewed as a crucial component of the government’s larger divestment agenda.
Currently, the Union government and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) together hold 95% of IDBI Bank, out of which 60.72% has been designated for sale as part of the ongoing disinvestment process.
This move reflects a change in the Centre’s asset monetisation strategy. Unlike in earlier years, the Union Budget 2025 did not specify a separate disinvestment target. Instead, it merged disinvestment proceeds and asset monetisation revenues under a unified budget category—“miscellaneous capital receipts”—with an estimated total of ₹47,000 crore.

On a standalone basis, IDBI Bank recorded a net profit of ₹2,051.18 crore for Q4 FY25, up 26 per cent from ₹1,628.46 crore in the same quarter the previous year.
