Development Banking emerged after theSecond World War and theGreat Depression in the 1930s. The demand for reconstruction funds for the affected nations compelled in setting up of national institutions for reconstruction. At the time of Independence in 1947, India had a fairly developed banking system. The adoption of bank dominated financial development strategy was aimed at meeting the sectoral credit needs, particularly of agriculture and industry. Towards this end, theReserve Bank concentrated on regulating and developing mechanisms for institution building. The commercial banking network was expanded to cater to the requirements of general banking and for meeting the short-term working capital requirements of industry and agriculture. Specialized Development Financial Institutions (DFIs) such as the IDBI,NABARD,NHB andSIDBI were set up to meet the long-term financing requirements of industry and agriculture.

The Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) was established in 1964 under anAct of Parliament as a wholly owned subsidiary of theReserve Bank of India. In 1976, the ownership of IDBI was transferred to the Union government and it was made the principal financial institution for coordinating the activities of institutions engaged in financing, promoting and developing industry in India. IDBI provided financial assistance, both in rupee and foreign currencies, for green-field projects and also for expansion, modernization, and diversification purposes. In the wake of financial sector reforms unveiled by the government since 1992, IDBI also provided indirect financial assistance by way of refinancing of loans extended by State-level financial institutions and banks and by way of rediscounting of bills of exchange arising out of the sale of indigenous machinery on deferred payment terms.
After the public issue of IDBI in July 1995, the government shareholding in the bank came down from 100% to 75%.
IDBI played a pioneering role, particularly in the pre-reform era (1964–91), in catalyzing broad-based industrial development in India in keeping with its government-ordained 'development banking' charter.
Some of the institutions built with the support of IDBI are theSecurities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI),National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), theNational Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), theStock Holding Corporation of India Limited (SHCIL), the Credit Analysis & Research Ltd, the Exim Bank (India), theSmall Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India.
A committee formed by RBI recommended the development financial institution (IDBI) to diversify its activity and harmonize the role of development financing and banking activities by getting away from the conventional distinction between commercial banking and developmental banking. To keep up with reforms in financial sector, IDBI reshaped its role from a development finance institution to a commercial institution. With theIndustrial Development Bank (Transfer of Undertaking and Repeal) Act, 2003, IDBI attained the status of a limited company viz., IDBI Ltd.[citation needed]
Subsequently, in September 2004, theReserve Bank of India incorporated IDBI as a 'scheduled bank' under theRBI Act, 1934. The commercial banking arm, IDBI Bank, was merged into IDBI in 2005.[6]
The merger was expected to streamline operations of the bank. However, IDBI continued to base its policy towards industrial sector like the erstwhile IDBI entity did. This resulted in the retail business of the bank to be limited to 13 percent of its total business. As of March 2018[update], the totalNon Performing Assets (NPA) rose to₹55,588crore (equivalent to₹740 billion or US$8.5 billion in 2023) and were about 28 percent of its total loans. This was the highest among Indian banks. The Union government intervened, withLife Insurance Corporation bailing out the bank with an infusion of₹9,300 crores.[6]
On 29 June 2018, LIC got a technical go-ahead from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) to increase stake in IDBI Bank up to 51%.[10] LIC completed the acquisition of 51% controlling stake on 21 January 2019, with a total investment of₹21,624 crores.[11][12]
In 2006, IDBI Bank acquiredUnited Western Bank (headquartered atSatara) in a rescue. By acquiring UWB, IDBI Bank doubled the number of its branches from 195 to 425.[13][14]
LIC of India completed the acquisition of 51% controlling stake in the bank in January 2019, making it the majority shareholder. Subsequent to the enhancement of equity stake by LIC of India, Reserve Bank of India has clarified via press release on 14 March 2019, that IDBI Bank stands re-categorised as a private sector bank, with retrospective effect from 21 January 2019. LIC took over the management control of the bank while the Union government, categorised as a promoter.[15]
IDBI Bank's equity shares are listed onBombay Stock Exchange and theNational Stock Exchange of India.[16][17][needs update] As of September 2021[update], the Union government held 45.48% shares in IDBI Bank, while LIC held 49.24% and the remaining is held by non-promoters.[15]
As of 1 September 2023, the bank had 18,283 employees, out of which 197 were employees withdisabilities.[18] The average age of bank employees on the same date was 34 years.[18] The bank reported a business of ₹25.64 crores per employee and a net profit of ₹12.17 lakhs per employee during the FY 2012–13.[18]
