The Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) have met again to reconsider floor price for SAIL‘s offer-for-sale offer as the steel ministry is not in favour of SAIL shares to be auctioned below Rs 65/share. Shares of the company closed the day at Rs 63.90, down around 2 percent.
SAIL‘s offer-for-sale (OFS) issue will hit the market tomorrow, and surprisingly the government which was to offload over 10 percent in the company, has now decided to auction smaller stake and is keen to sell the remaining portion in FY14.
The much awaited Oil and Natural Gas Corp’s (ONGC) share sale did not live upto the expectation of the government as total bids stood at 29.22 crore against 42.77 crore shares which were up for sale via the auction route.
The divestment programme for 2011-12 could be starting with Power Finance Corporation's follow-on public offer (FPO), reports CNBC-TV18. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has set the divestment target of Rs 40,000 crore for FY12.
