Bulk of the minority shareholders, however, continue to hold the shares of IDBI Bank indicating their faith in the new management, they said.
Existing shareholders feel value of their shares going up substantially in the future following management takeover by LIC, the sources added. The open offer for 2,04,15,12,929 shares was made last month at a price of Rs 61.73 a share.
