Fairfax proposes shifting Digit and IIFL Capital stakes to IDBI Bank
In short
Fairfax proposed moving its interests in Digit and IIFL Capital to IDBI Bank after India approved its ₹52,878 crore deal for a 60.72% stake in the lender.
The plan would bring banking, insurance, investment banking and wealth management under one roof. It still needs regulatory approvals and final agreements, so nothing is final yet.
