Govt postpones Rs 12,000 crore ONGC share sale again
The government has deferred its proposed Rs 12,000 crore share sale in state oil and gas explorer ONGC by at least two weeks due to unfavourable market conditions.
The follow-on public offer (FPO) was to open on September 20, but has been put off, Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC)
The follow-on public offer (FPO) was to open on September 20, but has been put off, Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC)
said in a statement to the stock exchanges.
"The selling shareholder (government) has decided not to proceed with the aforementioned offer programme and shall evaluate its decision in relation to the offer in due course," it said.
The company did not give new dates for the FPO.
The Department of Disinvestment (DoD), which is in charge of the FPO, under which the government is selling a 5% stake in ONGC, yesterday sent out terse letters communicating the postponement of the share sale. It neither offered any reason for deferral of the FPO launch, nor new dates for the offer.
Sources privy to the development said the FPO is off for at least two weeks.
DoD officials met investment bankers managing the ONGC issue this morning to discuss the future course of action. No details of the meeting were immediately available.
A Group of Ministers headed by finance minister Pranab Mukhejree was to meet today to fix a price band for the FPO, but that meeting has been postponed.
The government plans to sell 5%, or 427.77 million shares, through the offer.
After the FPO, the government's stake in ONGC will come down to 69.14% from the current 74.14%.
The FPO was originally planned in the 2010-11 fiscal, but the launch was later deferred to April 5, as the company did not have an adequate number of independent directors on its board to meet market regulator SEBI's listing norms.
It was then rescheduled for July 5, but was again deferred due to adverse market conditions.

Nifty likely to be in range of 4700-5200 levels:
In this week, the Nifty witnessed a gap down opening on Monday and has been trading in narrow range of 4920-5055 with high level of volatility suggesting that both bulls and bears are fighting to get their grip on the market.
On Wednesday, the Nifty future found support at 4940-4900 levels. If it fails to hold these levels, selling pressure may get intensified towards 4840-4800 levels. There will be immediate resistance at around 5100 levels where fresh call writing is seen. If these levels are sustained, the market may witness further short-covering rally towards 5150-5180 levels amid unwinding in call options. In the options segment, the highest call open interest is at 5200 strike price while maximum put OI is at 4700 followed by 4800 strike prices. This indicates that the broader range for the market is likely to be at 4700-5200 in coming trading sessions.
The PCR OI has been trading above 1.25 in this expiry which shows heavy put writing in the market. Implied volatilities are also trading above 30 levels indicating markets are in volatile mode. Generally, the premiums of options are high in highly volatile market and so writing the options are preferred.
The market witnessed short-covering and marginal long build-up in IT, metal, oil & gas and banking sectors while marginal selling pressure was seen in capital goods sector.
