Heard on business television between 15:58:34 - 16:01:34 IST.
- Called the IDBI deal the largest FDI into India, in the financial space, coming in better than the initial asking price.
- Panelists were surprised by the muted street response despite the scale of the deal.
- Noted increased competition in financial sector from IDBI, RBL, Yes Bank all 'muscling up', raising competition for talent and business.
- One panelist argued IDBI has 24-25% capital adequacy ratio, meaning it won't need to raise capital for years, and has an established deposit franchise and physical infrastructure.
- Comparison drawn to RBL Bank's re-rating journey from 0.6x to 1.2-1.4x book value, suggesting similar wealth-creation potential for IDBI even without earnings growth.
- Noted market will wait for strategy clarity from Fairfax before a re-rating occurs, expected in two to three quarters.
- Mentioned hypothetical CSB Bank merger talk was denied by the company.
