India plans $26bn sale of stakes in state-backed banks

India plans to raise as much as Rs1.6tn ($26bn) by selling down stakes in state-backed banks, in a potentially far-reaching move that could act as a precursor to future privatisations in the country’s state-dominated banking sector.

India’s government banks are severely undercapitalised, with rating agency Fitch suggesting that lenders will need to raise $200bn in fresh capital by 2019 to meet Basel III banking norms and cope with a recent jump in problem loans.
