The President of India, acting through the ministry of Coal, Government of India has sold 137.11 million equity shares representing 2.21% stake of Coal India to Reliance Nippon Life Asset Management, as the AMC of the CPSE ETF mutual fund scheme.

SAIL has dipped 4% to Rs 50.80, falling 25% in past one month amid fears of demand slowdown. The steel prices witnessed temporary weakness due to demand disruption on account of Assembly Elections in four major states i.e. Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, and Rajasthan. A slowdown in China's domestic steel demand also impacted the prices.
