Standard Life said on Tuesday that it divested 5% stake in HDFC Life Insurance Company. A total of 100.8 million shares were sold in two tranches at Rs 672 and Rs 673.

Standard Life raised a total of Rs 6,784 crore from the share sale. Shares of HDFC Life Insurance fell 1.4% to end at Rs 686.

The price range for the share sale has been fixed at Rs 658 to Rs 678 per share: a discount of between 2.6% and 5.5% to the life insurer's Monday's closing price of Rs 696.
