List of Offer for Sale (OFS) – April 2026

An Offer for Sale (OFS) is a market mechanism that allows promoters or large shareholders of a listed company to sell their shares directly to investors through the stock exchange platform. In simple terms, it enables bulk share sales by promoters, the government, or institutional investors in a transparent and time-bound manner.

Why companies use the OFS route

OFS is commonly used to:

• Comply with SEBI’s Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) norms
• Reduce promoter or government stake in a company
• Improve liquidity and increase public participation

Below is the list of Offer for Sale (OFS) scheduled for April 2026

Understanding the OFS process with a simple example

Let’s consider XYZ Ltd., a listed company.

The promoter holds a 70% stake in the company. To improve liquidity or meet regulatory compliance, the promoter decides to sell part of its stake via OFS. An OFS is announced with a floor price.

On the OFS Day
Investors can place bids on NSE/BSE at or above the floor price
Allocation is based on the price priority method
Sale proceeds go directly to the promoter, not the company
 

Outcome
Promoter stake reduces
Investors get an opportunity to buy shares at a transparent price
