The Cabinet has approved the in-principle strategic disinvestment and transfer of management control in IDBI Bank Limited.
The Government of India (GoI) and LIC together own more than 94% of IDBI Bank's equity. GoI holds 45.48% and LIC holds 49.24%.
LIC is currently the promoter of IDBI Bank with management control, and GoI is the co-promoter.
