An announcement from Coal India Ltd. ( (IN:COALINDIA) ) is now available.
Coal India’s board has granted in-principle approval to divest up to 25% of its equity stake in South Eastern Coalfields Limited via an Offer for Sale, alongside SECL issuing fresh shares equivalent to up to 10% of its post-issue paid-up capital. The equity sale and fresh issuance are intended to be executed through an initial public offering or other permitted domestic market routes, with the proposal now headed to the Ministry of Coal for onward submission to DIPAM and remaining subject to regulatory clearances and completion of formalities.
The move advances the planned listing of SECL, signaling a significant step in the government-linked disinvestment process that could broaden SECL’s shareholder base and enhance market transparency around one of Coal India’s key subsidiaries. For investors and sector stakeholders, the proposed listing has the potential to unlock value in Coal India’s portfolio and may reshape ownership and governance dynamics within the state-run coal sector once approvals are secured.
