Government sells its stake in IDBI Bank to Canadian Company

The strategic reorganization and ₹52,878 crore stake sale of IDBI Bank to Prem Watsa's Fairfax Financial Holdings was approved by the Union Cabinet on October 14, 2026.

This is the biggest government disinvestment agreement since Air India and the largest foreign direct investment (FDI) in India's financial sector.

The winning bid price of ₹81 per share is being used to complete the transaction. The approved framework calls for Fairfax's subsidiary, M/s 10955230 Canada Inc., to purchase a 60.72% controlling stake in the lender, which will be split nearly equally between the two current major owners:

India's government Sale: Giving up a 30.48% share.

Corporation for Life Insurance (LIC) Sale: Giving up a 30.24% share.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman categorized the deal as a “strategic restructuring” rather than a complete exit, as the state will maintain a significant footprint:

The Government will retain a 15% stake.

LIC will retain a 19% stake.

Together, they will keep a combined 34% minority holding in the bank.

While the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has cleared the transaction, the deal still awaits a final mandatory “fit and proper ownership” assessment by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), alongside necessary clearances from the Competition Commission of India (CCI). The formal share purchase agreement is scheduled to be signed and executed before the end of December 2026.

IDBI Bank will officially become a foreign-owned bank following the conclusion of this deal. The winning bidder, Fairfax Financial Holdings, is a massive financial conglomerate headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and led by the Indian-born Canadian billionaire Prem Watsa.

Because Fairfax’s Canadian subsidiary is acquiring a 60.72% controlling stake, IDBI Bank will transition from being a domestic Indian lender into a foreign-controlled institution.
