IFCI is reportedly in advanced discussion with a foreign private equity fund to sell 1.1 per cent stake in the National Stock Exchange (NSE). PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is helping the Delhi-based company with the sale. The lender’s profitability as measured by the return on common equity has declined for seven straight years and was at 7.7 per cent in the year ended March 31.
IFCI, which initially held a 12.44 per cent stake in the Mumbai-based bourse, in 2007 sold seven per cent to Goldman Sachs Group Inc, NYSE Group Inc, General Atlantic LLC and Softbank Asian Infrastructure Fund.
