Housing & Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) shares tanked 9% to Rs 82 in Wednesday’s trade on BSE after the government announced it would sell up to 7% stake in the company through an Offer for Sale (OFS) at a floor price of Rs 79 per share.

Under the OFS, the government will offload seven crore equity shares, representing about 3.5% of equity with an oversubscription option of another 3.5%. Based on the base offer and oversubscription option, the government plans on selling up to 14.01 crore shares.
