    Solution

    The government raises around Rs 1,350 crore from the 5.36% stake sale in Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL) through a two-day offer for sale (OFS).With the completion of the OFS, the public shareholding in RVNL would rise to a little over 27% from 21.8%, meeting the market regulator’s Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) norm of 25% for listed firms. Subsequent to the OFS, the government will also sell a 0.5% stake in the company to eligible employees. This would fetch another Rs 126 crore to the Centre.
