Govt to sell 8% stake in IRCON International through OFS

The non-retail investors may indicate their willingness to carry forward their unallotted bids to T+1 day for allocation to them in the unsubscribed portion of the retail category.

The allocation will be at or above the floor price on price priority basis, except in case of retail investors, who will have an option to bid at or above the cut-off price.About 10% of the offer is reserved for retail investors. If the retail category is undersubscribed, those shares will be allotted to non-retail investors who have chosen to carry forward their unallotted bids to T+ l day.
Meanwhile, 0.5% of the offer size is reserved for employees. The shares to employees will be given at the cut-off price in the retail category of the offer.
