Banking stocks are trading firm with IDBI Bank and Union Bank witnessing maximum buying interest. As per an article in Economic Times, the government is in talks with the International Finance Corp. for the disposal of a stake in state-run IDBI Bank. The government currently holds a 76.5% stake in the bank and is looking to lower this to 49%>. As reported, the World Bank arm that invests in private sector is said to pick up a 15% holding.

The government, with plans to kick off strategic sales of public sector entities, has asked the finance ministry to conclude the IDBI deal by December. A panel has been set up to carry out strategic sales for the same.

The bank stake sale is primarily focused at making the bank more professional on the lines of private counterparts as was earlier seen in case of Axis Bank. The move will not face difficulties as unlike other state-run banks, IDBI Bank is governed by a separate legislation. The IDBI Act allows the government to lower its stake to 49%. In other state-run banks, the government has pledged to keep a majority 52% stake.

Lastly, going by the government's strategic sale plans, India wants to raise a record of Rs 695 billion this fiscal year from divestment. Of this, it has so far raised Rs 126 billion.

As per an economic daily, Nestle India has said that it has resumed production of Maggi noodles at all five facilities in India after production was started at its Tahliwal plant in Himachal Pradesh.

Earlier, last week, the food major has started production of Maggi noodles from its fourth plant at Pantnagar in Uttrakhand. The production was resumed on November 9 after a five-month ban. In June, FSSAI had banned Maggi noodles after finding lead content beyond permissible limits. Post that, the company took a hit of Rs 4.5 billion including the disposal of over 30,000 tonnes of Maggi packets.

As a result, the company reported 60% decline in its standalone net profit for the third quarter ended September 2015. Its net sales plummeted 32% during the period. However, the company since then is working to make up the lost ground. In our recent report, we have given our views on what one should expect from the company going further.
