The issue, comprising up to 27 crore equity shares, will open for subscription on 21 October and close on 23 October. Shares worth up to Rs 500 crore have been reserved for eligible employees and Rs 2,500 crore for eligible Reliance Industries shareholders. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved Fairfax Financial Holdings as the strategic buyer for a 60.72 per cent stake in IDBI Bank for Rs 52,878 crore. The government and LIC will retain a combined 34 per cent stake in the restructured entity. The benchmark price for fresh financial bids was set at Rs 75.99 per share, with the highest accepted offer at Rs 81 per share. On Wednesday, 14 October, the Nifty 50 declined 99 points, or 0.44 per cent, to close at 22,623 as stronger wholesale inflation and elevated crude prices prompted profit-taking.
