4.60 (0.33%) ICICI Bank has bought an additional 25.14 lakh shares of ICICI Lombard General Insurance for Rs 431 crore. With the latest purchase of shares, ICICI Lombard has become a subsidiary of the bank.
The move follows a May 2023 resolution by the bank's board to increase the bank's holding ICICI Lombard by another 4 per cent in multiple tranches. It had also secured nods from the banking and insurance watchdogs to go ahead with the plan to increase the holdings.
ICICI Bank is a leading private sector bank in India.
