Thiruvananthapuram , Aug. 27

THE Federal Bank Chairman, Mr K.P. Padmakumar, has scotched rumours of promoters' stake changing hands in an "enabling" atmosphere where FDI norms have been eased and the 10 per cent cap on voting rights lifted.

Mr Padmakumar was responding to market reports suggesting that Kotak Mahindra had been eyeing the 21 per cent stake of ICICI Bank . "We are in constant touch with ICICI Bank, the largest single shareholder. They have no interest to sell their stake. I would also like to clarify that we have not had any interaction with Kotak Mahindra in the matter", Mr Padmakumar told Business Line here.
