  "account": "Hindustan Copper's retail portion of its Offer for Sale (OFS) opened for investors on Wednesday, following a sharp decline in the previous trading session. The stock, once trading at ₹541 on the BSE, rebounded to ₹541.50, up ₹8.50 or 1.5%. The government had initially allocated 3% of its shares for the retail OFS, but due to strong demand from non-retail investors, it exercised the entire 3% greenshoe option, doubling the stake up to 6%. The OFS has a floor price of ₹514 per share, with at least 10% of the shares and 25,000 additional shares reserved for retail investors and eligible employees, respectively. If the government sells the complete 6% stake, it could generate around ₹2,982 crore. Retail investors can submit their bids between 9:15 am and 3:30 pm via the dedicated OFS window on the NSE and BSE, with settlement scheduled for August 27.",
