India seeks to sell 1.5% stake in ONGC
India plans to sell as much as 1.5% stake in state-run Oil & Natural Gas Corp., via an offer for sale starting Wednesday, according to an exchange filing.
The floor price for the offer is set at 159 rupees apiece. The government aims to raise 30 billion rupees ($397 million) from the share sale, which is for two days beginning Wednesday for non-retail investors and Thursday for retail.
The divestment, before the close of the financial year on March 31, comes after the government deferred an initial public offer for the country’s largest insurer Life Insurance Corp. to next year due to market volatility.
