Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) has dipped 7% to Rs 49.20 after the government has offloaded 3.56% of its stake through the institutional placement programme (IPP) on Friday.
According to reports, there were no bidders other than the five public sector undertakings from Tamil Nadu- TIDCO, SIPCOT, TIIC, PFC and TUFIDCO.
Only three state government-backed institutions —TUFIDCO, PFC and TIIC — picked up the stake.
The government offloaded a little over 59.7 million shares in NLC under the IIP at a price band of 58-60 per share to meet Sebi's minimum public shareholding norms. The Centre's holding will now come down to the stipulated 90%.
The stock opened at Rs 53.55 and hit a low of Rs 48.65, its lowest level since December 2008, on NSE. A combined 142,087 shares changed hands on the counter till noon deals on NSE and BSE.
