Government to Sell Up to 6% Stake in Hindustan Copper at Rs 514 Per Share
The Indian government plans to sell up to a 6% stake in state-run Hindustan Copper Limited through an Offer for Sale (OFS) at a floor price of Rs 514 per share, about 10% below recent market prices. The initial offer covers 3% equity, with an option to sell an additional 3% if oversubscribed. Ten percent of shares are reserved for retail investors, and 25,000 shares for eligible employees. The move is part of the government's ongoing disinvestment program amid strong company earnings and expansion plans.
