17 Oct 2026, 09:33 am IST·1 source·Medium coverage confidence

In short

The government has defended the IDBI Bank stake sale by pointing to a 2018 court ruling. A PIB clarification says lawmakers rejected an amendment that would have limited how much the government could dilute its stake.

That means the amendment was never part of the law. The report does not say whether the sale will proceed on the same schedule.
