SBI divests 13.19% stake in Yes Bank to SMBC for Rs 8889 crores
The decision taken involves divesting 413,44,04,897 equity shares of Yes Bank at a price of Rs 21.50 per share, to Japanese multinational financial services company, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC).
SMBC will buy the shares at a price of Rs 21.50 per share, the total consideration amount comes to nearly Rs.8888.97 crores.
This decision was approved by the Executive Committee of the Central Board (ECCB) of SBI in a meeting held on Friday, May 9, 2025.
The deal needs to be closed within 12 months from the date of the agreement which is May 9, 2025, or such other date as mutually agreed by SBI and SMBC.
SMBC had earlier sought approval of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to acquire 51 per cent stake in Yes Bank.
As of March 2025, SBI held a 23.97 per cent stake in Yes Bank. With this partial exit, SBI will nearly halve its holdings in Yes Bank while realizing substantial gains on its investments, nearly doubling its investment value on the shares sold.
In 2020, SBI invested Rs 6,050 crore to acquire a 49 per cent stake in Yes Bank as part of a rescue plan for the troubled lender. However, after private equity firms Carlyle and Advent invested in the bank last year, SBI's stake was reduced to 26.14 per cent.
It may be recalled that the Central Government has roped in the SBI to recapitalise Yes Bank, which was in the verge of collapse owing to mismanagement by its erstwhile promoter. Several other commercial banks and LIC hold little more than 11 per cent stake in Yes Bank.
Despite Indian stock market closed at over a per cent down, on this news Yes Bank share closed 9.82 per cent up on Friday at NSE closed at Rs 20.02 per share and 9.77 per cent up at BSE closed Rs 20 a share. (ANI)

Last hurdle cleared for UT's first-ever flyover, tendering in a week
1 2 Chandigarh: After years of delays, legal hurdles, and bureaucratic back-and-forth, Chandigarh's first-ever flyover is finally ready to take off. The ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) has officially approved a revised financial allocation of Rs 240 crore for the ambitious flyover-rotary-underpass project at the bustling Industrial Area rotary on NH-5. In a high-level meeting chaired by the Secretary, Road Transport and Highways, and attended by representatives from NITI Aayog, the Department of Legal Affairs, and the Department of Economic Affairs, the project received long-awaited administrative clearance. "After the issuance of the minutes of the meeting of the committee, the process for tendering will be initiated, which is expected to be by next week. The tendering process will take another two to three months for completion. Concurrently, a detailed traffic diversion plan will be prepared for the project. After work allotment, the construction will start," said a senior UT official. The project was first conceptualised in 2018. The ministry approved the project with an allocation of Rs 183 crore in February 2019. After the tendering process, the winning bid for the project completion was Rs 137 crore.

On April 30, 2024, the HC dismissed the PIL, paving the way for the construction of the flyover. A meeting was called on June 12, 2024, in Transport Bhawan, New Delhi, to decide the further course of action. In the meeting, it was decided, keeping in view the substantial gap since the issuance of the LOA, that the UT engineering department should submit the revised cost estimate at the earliest, along with revised phasing of expenditure.

"Since there has been a significant time gap since the award of work, it would be prudent to re-invite the bid and explore the current market response. As regards the cost towards shifting of public health utilities now included, MoRTH asked the Chandigarh Administration to deposit it with the ministry." A UT official said, "Rs 240 crore is to be funded by the ministry, while around Rs 40 crore is to be borne by the UT (for relocating underground utilities).
