New Delhi: Coal India has submitted drafts for an initial public offering (IPO) of a 10 percent stake in Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL), the largest coal producer in India. The draft prospectus, dated August 31, outlines the details of the Offer for Sale (OFS) of 66,18,36,300 equity shares, with no additional shares to be issued.
The proceeds will go solely to Coal India, as MCL will not receive any revenue from the share sale. The IPO is part of Coal India's strategy to raise capital by listing its subsidiaries. In the past year, Coal India has listed two subsidiaries, Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) and Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Ltd (CMPDI).
MCL, with 17 operational mines, produced 218.31 million tonnes of coal in fiscal 2026, accounting for approximately 22.4 percent of the country's total non-coking coal production. The IPO is expected to be completed within the current financial year, pending market conditions and government directives.
