Vedanta to Sell up to 1.59% Stake in Hindustan Zinc via OFS
Vedanta Limited plans to sell up to 1.59% stake in Hindustan Zinc via an Offer for Sale (OFS). The sale, comprising up to 6,70,00,000 shares, will occur on January 28-29, 2026. The floor price is set at ₹685 per share. This move aims to deleverage Vedanta's balance sheet.
The sale of a significant stake (up to 1.59%) by the promoter can influence the stock's liquidity and price discovery. It may lead to increased selling pressure in the short term, but also offers an opportunity for broader investor participation. The floor price set provides a reference point for valuation.
The announcement is a routine Offer for Sale (OFS) by a promoter to manage its balance sheet. While it provides liquidity for the promoter, it does not inherently signal positive or negative performance for Hindustan Zinc itself. The impact on the stock price will depend on market demand and pricing.
Vedanta Limited, the promoter of Hindustan Zinc Limited, announced its intention to sell up to 3,35,00,000 equity shares, representing 0.79% of the total issued and paid-up equity share capital, through an Offer for Sale (OFS). This Base Offer Size can be increased by an additional 3,35,00,000 equity shares, potentially taking the total stake sale to 1.59% (6,70,00,000 shares).
The Offer will be conducted on January 28, 2026 (T day) for non-Retail Investors and on January 29, 2026 (T+1 day) for Retail Investors and non-Retail Investors who wish to carry forward their unallotted bids. The floor price for the Offer has been set at ₹685 per equity share. The OFS is intended to strengthen and deleverage Vedanta Limited's balance sheet and optimize its capital structure.
Citigroup Global Markets India Private Limited is appointed as the Seller's Broker for the transaction. The offer is subject to various regulatory guidelines and market conditions. Bidders are required to adhere to specific participation and settlement procedures outlined by SEBI and the stock exchanges.
