India Government to Sell Up to 2% Stake in Coal India via Offer for Sale

The Indian government plans to sell up to a 2% stake in coal giant Coal India Ltd through an Offer for Sale (OFS). According to the official filing, the floor price has been set at 412 rupees per share.

Sale Details

The sale is part of the government's divestment program. Proceeds from the OFS will help bridge the fiscal deficit. Coal India shares are currently trading above the floor price of 412 rupees on the BSE.

Implications for Investors

This offering provides investors an opportunity to buy shares at a discounted price. However, the increased supply may create short-term price pressure. In the long run, the government's privatization steps are viewed positively by the market.
