Government to sell up to 5% stake in Cochin Shipyard

The Indian government will offload a stake of about 5% in shipbuilder Cochin Shipyard, as per an exchange filing.

The base size of the offer will be 2.5%, amounting to about 6.6 million shares, with an option to sell an additional 2.5% stake.

The government has raised 31.61 billion rupees through divestments in the ongoing fiscal year, including 23.46 billion rupees from selling its stake in General Insurance Corporation of India, according to its website.

It has, however, not set a target for divestment for the year, a departure from its usual practice.

The sale of Cochin Shipyard’s stake will open on Oct. 16 for non-retail investors and on Oct. 17 for retail investors.

The Indian government held 72.86% stake in Cochin Shipyard as of June 30, according to exchange data.

Cochin Shipyard makes ships including bulk carriers, passenger vessels, and aircraft carriers.
