In short

The Indian government is expected to cross its Rs 80,000 crore disinvestment target for FY27.

A big part of that would come from the planned IDBI Bank stake sale, valued at over Rs 52,878 crore. The report does not say when the sale will finish.

The report says the planned strategic sale of IDBI Bank, valued at over Rs 52,878 crore, includes the government’s 30.48% stake and LIC’s 30.24% stake, and that minority stake sales have already brought in Rs 55,757 crore. What remains unknown is the timing of the final sale and completion.
