State owned IDBI Bank is believed to have zeroed in on Federal Bank, one of the largest private sector banks in South India having 641 branches. Federal Bank has a total business of around Rs. 59000 crore and deposits of Rs.33439 crore. It is believed that IDBI Bank has also completed due diligence. IDBI Bank had acquired United Western Bank a few years ago.
The acquisition, if it materialises, would enable IDBI to consolidate its position among state-run banks by strengthening key segments such as branch network,human resources and client acquisition, besides augmenting its deposit-base.
