Coal India is down in the red, down 4.5% or by Rs.16.75 at Rs.359, with an intra day low at Rs.356.75.

The stock has slipped into the red, with the markets discouraged as the Govt announced plans to come out with a huge divestment issue, to raise about Rs.24,000 crore before end of FY15, which is just 1.5 months away. The Govt plans to divest 10% stake where it currently holds 89.65% stake.

Every time the Govt announces a stake sale in any PSU, the stock price typically drops as there is usually wariness about the offer price, which most expect to be at a discount to the existing market price.
