Sebi Approves Mahanadi Coalfields IPO as Coal India Plans 10% Stake Sale
India's capital markets regulator Sebi has approved the IPO of Mahanadi Coalfields, a subsidiary of state-run Coal India, which plans to sell a 10% stake by offering up to 661.8 million shares. The IPO could raise around $1 billion, valuing Mahanadi Coalfields at approximately $10 billion. The unit, based in Odisha, contributed about 22% of India's non-coking coal production in fiscal 2026. This move is part of Coal India's broader strategy to unlock value from its subsidiaries amid a decline in e-auction premiums for coal sales.
