The government will sell up to 10 per cent stake in Hindustan Copper through an offer for sale (OFS) in a move that would help the exchequer garner about Rs 1,120 crore in divestment receipts.  
The government will sell 5 per cent or 48.3 million shares in the copper miner at Rs 116 apiece on Thursday and Friday. The floor price has been set at a 7 per cent discount to the closing price of the stock on Wednesday. The OFS also includes a greenshoe option to sell an additional 5 per cent shareholding of the public sector undertaking (PSU). 
The entire 10 per cent sale could fetch the government around Rs 1,122 crore at the set floor price, and would bring down the sovereign’s shareholding in the state-owned company to 62.76 per cent.
