Bharat Coking Coal Soars on Debut, Then Eases From Highs

The blockbuster debut validates demand for a pure-play coking coal producer, bolstering Coal India’s plan to list more subsidiaries.

Overview

  • Shares listed at Rs 45 on NSE and BSE, roughly 96–97% above the Rs 23 issue price.
  • Profit-taking pulled the stock about 11% below the listing level to Rs 40.17 intraday, with closing near Rs 40.6 for a day-one gain of around 76–77%.

  • The Rs 1,071 crore issue was a 46.57 crore-share offer-for-sale by Coal India, which retains about 90% ownership post-listing.
