Coal India Files Draft Papers for 10% Stake Sale in Mahanadi Coalfields IPO
Mahanadi Coalfields, a wholly owned subsidiary of Coal India, has filed draft papers with SEBI for an initial public offering (IPO) involving an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 66.18 crore shares, representing a 10% stake. The IPO proceeds will go entirely to Coal India, with no fresh capital raised by Mahanadi. The company, based in Odisha, is India's largest non-coking coal producer, contributing about 22.4% of the country's non-coking coal and 28% of Coal India's output in FY26. The IPO is part of Coal India's plan to unlock value from subsidiaries, with shares proposed to list on NSE and BSE. Financially, Mahanadi reported a slight decline in profit and revenue for FY26. The IPO is subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions.
