Why IDBI Bank Share Price Is Falling.

Moving on to news form the banking sector, shares of IDBI Bank fell more than 3% on 22 November morning after the government cancelled the bid invitation process to appoint an asset valuer for the lender's divestment.

The Centre will call for a fresh request for proposal (RFP) for appointing the asset valuer. This cancellation comes after the government extended the RFP four times.

The government, in conjunction with the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), has been seeking to divest its holdings in IDBI Bank. The government holds a 45% stake in the lender and LIC 49.2%. The two have jointly decided to sell a 60.7% stake in the bank.

This January, the government received multiple preliminary bids for the strategic sale.

In this strategic divestment initiative, the asset valuer would be responsible for conducting a thorough evaluation of multiple facets of IDBI Bank.

This entails determining the fair value of the bank's investments, loans, and advances, with the aim of presenting a comprehensive overview of its financial portfolio.

The valuation process would include a scrutiny of IDBI Bank's deposits, borrowings, and other liabilities to attain a comprehensive insight into the financial position of the institution.

Through the appointment of an asset valuer to evaluate the bank's financial well-being, the government seeks to promote transparency and fairness in the valuation proceedings.

IDBI Bank stands among the top banking companies in India that have low NPAs and a higher Return on Equity (ROE)...
