A block deal worth Rs 500 crore is likely to be executed by the promoter entity of Inox Wind to reduce its stake in the wind energy company, CNBC TV-18 reported on August 7, citing sources who are privy to the development.
The offer price for the deal will be at a maximum discount of 5 percent against the current market price, the sources added. In the trading session today, Inox Wind's shares settled at Rs 209.85 on the BSE, which was 1.89 percent lower than the previous day's close.
Notably, the promoter and promoter groups of Inox Wind hold a total of 72.01 percent stake in the company, as per the shareholding pattern shared with the exchanges for the quarterly period ending June 2023.
