Our Bureau

Mumbai , March 6

IDBI Ltd will tie up with the Netherlands-based Fortis Insurance International NV (Fortis) for its life insurance subsidiary, the bank informed the Bombay Stock Exchange on Monday.

A memorandum of understanding would be signed on Tuesday, following which the bank would approach the Reserve Bank of India and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority for permission, said a senior official from the bank.

IDBI would be the largest shareholder in the joint venture, which would have an initial capital of Rs 100-150 crore. The third partner is most likely to be a bank, though it is yet to be decided, the official said.
