The government currently holds 75.58 percent in MOIL, formerly known as Manganese Ore India Ltd. "Government will divest 10 per cent stake in MOIL tomorrow at a floor price of Rs 365 apiece," the official added.
Shares of MOIL closed at Rs 382.70, up 0.90 percent over previous close on the BSE on Monday. The two-day offer for sale will open for institutional bidding tomorrow and retail investors will be able to subscribe on January 25.
