Fairfax plans IDBI Bank restructuring for Digit and IIFL Capital
In short
Fairfax Financial Holdings plans to put its Indian financial businesses under IDBI Bank after India approved a Rs 52,878 crore deal for a 60.7% stake in the bank. The plan would bring together banking, insurance, investment banking and wealth management.
This could change how Digit, IIFL Capital and IDBI Bank sit under one group. The reporting says more regulatory approvals are still needed, and the final setup is not yet final.
