IDBI Bank shares pushed higher Thursday, hitting a peak of 113.50 rupees before pulling back slightly to trade around 111.57 rupees by 10:30 a.m., up about 2%. This came despite the Nifty 50 falling 0.5%. The stock has climbed nearly 13% this February, boosted by the Union Budget’s 80,000-crore-rupee disinvestment target.
