The President of India, acting through the Ministry of Coal (the promoter), has decided to exercise the oversubscription option for Coal India Limited shares. This means the total offer for sale has increased from 1% (61.6 million shares) to 2% (123.3 million shares) of the company's total paid-up equity share capital. The sale is being conducted through the stock exchange mechanism, with non-retail investors on May 27, 2026 and retail investors on May 29, 2026. About 10% of the offer (12.3 million shares) will be reserved for retail category, with up to 25,000 shares also offered to eligible employees.
This represents a 2% stake sale by the promoter (government), which will dilute the government's holding in Coal India. The sale through the exchange mechanism means shares will be sold to interested buyers at market prices, and this could put some downward pressure on the stock price due to increased supply.
