Coal India Plans SECL and Mahanadi Coalfields IPOs by Year-End
Coal India Ltd plans to complete the initial public offerings (IPOs) of its two largest subsidiaries, South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) and Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL), within the current financial year. The exact timing depends on market conditions and government directives. The board approved divesting up to 25% equity stakes in both companies via offer for sale, with SECL also issuing fresh shares. The IPOs are expected to raise between Rs 8,000 crore and Rs 10,000 crore each, following earlier listings of other CIL subsidiaries this year.
