List of Offer for Sale (OFS) – January 2026

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

OFS is typically used to:

• Comply with SEBI’s Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) norms

• Reduce promoter or government stake in a company

• Improve liquidity and widen public participation

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

OFS Schedule – January 2026

Example: How an OFS Works

Let’s break down the OFS process with a simple example.

• XYZ Ltd. is a listed company.

• The promoter holds 70% stake in the company.

• As per SEBI regulations, promoter holding must not exceed 75%.

• To meet compliance or improve public shareholding, the promoter decides to sell 5% stake via an OFS.

• An OFS is announced with a floor price of ₹200 per share.

On the OFS Day:

• Investors can place bids on the NSE/BSE at or above the floor price.

• If an investor bids ₹205 and shares are available, allotment may happen at that price (or at the cut-off price, if applicable).

• The sale proceeds go directly to the promoter (seller) and not to the company.

Outcome:

• The promoter’s stake reduces from 70% to 65%.

• Investors get an opportunity to purchase shares, often at a fixed or discounted price compared to the prevailing market price
