Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui to exit Kotak ahead of Yes Bank stake purchase

Wait 5 sec.

The foreign lender will sell its entire 1.65% stake in Kotak Bank in a block deal worth at least ₹6,166 crore, according to deal terms. SMBC is likely selling the stake to avoid conflict of interest as it has received RBI's approval to acquire nearly 25% in Yes Bank.
