The Government of India, acting through the Ministry of Railways, proposes to sell up to 2,61,37,012 equity shares of IRFC (2% of paid-up capital) via a stock exchange OFS mechanism. There is an additional oversubscription option for an equal 2,61,37,012 shares, taking the total potential size to 4% of paid-up capital. The floor price is fixed at ₹104 per share, with no retail or employee discount offered. Non-retail investors can bid on February 25, 2026, and retail investors on February 26, 2026, between 9:15 AM and 3:30 PM. Up to 25,000 shares are reserved for eligible employees, 10% of the offer is reserved for retail investors, and 25% of non-retail portion is reserved for mutual funds and insurance companies. Goldman Sachs (India) Securities is the sole broker. The purpose of the OFS is to help IRFC comply with the mandatory minimum public shareholding of 25% under SEBI's LODR rules.
This is a government-led stake sale aimed at meeting the minimum public shareholding norm, which means more shares are hitting the market and could put short-term selling pressure on the stock. Existing shareholders will see their promoter holding reduce, but it also improves float and liquidity. Investors should watch the floor price of ₹104 as a reference, though the final clearing price depends on demand and may trade at a premium or discount to the market price.
