The government would fetch over `15,000 crore by issuing 63.16 crore shares of Coal India at a price of `245 per share. It will offer a discount of five per cent to retail investors. “The issue price has been fixed at `245 per share. The government will raise over `15,000 crore,” the Union coal minster, Mr Sriprakash Jaiswal, said after a meeting of the EGoM, headed by the finance minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee. “It was a grand success.
