IDBI Federal Life Insurance Company Ltd is looking to sell itself and is seeking a valuation of at least Rs 3,000 crore ($466 million), a Mint report said citing two people aware of the development.
The company is a joint venture of state-run lender IDBI Bank, Kerala-based Federal Bank and Belgium’s Ageas Insurance International NV. IDBI Bank holds a 48% stake in the company while Federal Bank and Ageas own 26% each.
The insurance company had started operations in March 2008. In 2015-16, the company collected a premium of Rs 1,565 crore.
