A ₹90K-CR price tag derailed IDBI stake sale

April 10, 2026

THE BID FOR a strategic sale of a 60.72% stake in IDBI Bank unravelled because of a steep reserve price of ₹90,000 crore, derailing a process that began in March 2021, sources told FE.

- PRASANTA SAHU

In strategic disinvestment, the reserve price — set confidentially by an Inter-Ministerial Valuation Committee (IMVC) based on independent assessments from the transaction adviser and valuer — acts as the minimum acceptable bid. KPMG India served as the transaction advisor for this deal.

Many in the government were “surprised” by the “very high’ reserve price, which suggested an overestimation of the bank’s valuation, sources said. IDBI Bank sale ended up as a missed opportunity to create a template for future bank privatisations.

The bids received were “well below half the reserve price,” the sources added, without giving details.
