New Delhi: Institutional investors on Tuesday placed bids worth over Rs 870 crore in the government’s 8% share sale in HUDCO. Institutional investors put in bids for over 19.40 crore shares against the base issue size of more than 9.90 crore shares. At the indicative price of Rs 45.03 apiece, the bids put in by institutional bidders are valued at over Rs 870 crore. “The OFS of HUDCO got good response on Day one. Issue subscribed nearly two times of base size by non-retail investors. Government has decided to exercise the green-shoe option,” Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey tweeted. The government is selling up to 8% stake sale in HUDCO at a floor price of Rs 45 apiece. Bids would open for retail investors on Wednesday.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
