What are the Upcoming Coal India Subsidiary IPOs?

This divestment involves two 100% owned subsidiaries of Coal India, both of which are critical to the nation's energy and resource sector.

⛏️ Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) IPO: Headquartered in Dhanbad, BCCL is a prime producer of coking coal, an essential raw material for the steel industry. It also produces non-coking coal for power sectors.
🏗️ Central Mine Planning & Design Institute (CMPDI) IPO: CMPDI is a "Mini Ratna" (Category-II) company and the in-house planning and consultancy arm of CIL. It provides expert services in geological exploration, mine planning, and environmental management.

Both IPOs are structured as an Offer for Sale (OFS), meaning the parent company, Coal India Ltd., is selling a portion of its stake to the public.

The IPO Ji Smart Tip: How to Get the Shareholder Quota

Here’s the expert insight you need: Both the BCCL IPO and the CMPDI IPO are expected to have a reserved portion for the shareholders of the parent company, Coal India Ltd.

💡 The IPO Ji Tip: Buy at least one share of Coal India Limited (NSE: COALINDIA) as soon as possible to become eligible to apply under the shareholder quota for both of these upcoming IPOs!

Why Does This Work?

In an IPO, a "Shareholder Quota" is a specific number of shares reserved for investors who already own shares of the promoter (parent) company.

Parent Company: Coal India Ltd.
Subsidiary Companies: BCCL and CMPDI

By owning even a single share of Coal India on the record date (which is typically a date before the IPO opens, often the date of the RHP filing), you are classified as an existing shareholder.

What are the Benefits of Applying in the Shareholder Quota?

Applying under the shareholder (SH) category can significantly boost your chances of allotment. Here’s why:

Less Competition: The pool of applicants in the shareholder quota is much smaller than in the general Retail (RII) or HNI categories.
Double Your Chances: You can often apply in both the Retail Category (up to ₹2 lakhs) and the Shareholder Category (up to ₹2 lakhs). This gives you two separate applications, effectively doubling your probability of getting an allotment.
