The offer for sale (OFS) for Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) has opened for retail investors, having already shown substantial interest among non-retail investors. On June 25, 2026, the government of India continues its divestment momentum by offloading a 2% stake in IRFC.
The Indian government's divestment strategy marked another milestone as the IRFC OFS attracted substantial interest. On June 25, 2026, the retail investor segment was opened to the public. The government aims to disinvest 1% equity with an additional 1% through a green shoe option.
The non-retail investor segment initiated the OFS on June 24, 2026, with subscriptions reaching 1.86 times the shares on offer. Encouraged by this response, the government activated the green shoe option to increase the stake on sale.
A total of 26,13,70,120 shares, amounting to a 2% stake in IRFC, are up for grabs in this two-day event. Priced at ₹91 per share, the offer is likely to raise over ₹2,300 crore for the government.
