The Indian government received good response from institutional investors in the third offer for sale (OFS) of a stake in Coal India, with the non-retail portion oversubscribed by 346%. However, CIL shares have underperformed in the four years since the government offloaded 10% of its stake for INR220bn ($3bn) in 2015, returning negative 8%.
