Mumbai:Mini-ratna speciality alloy maker Mishra Dhatu Nigam (Midhani) on Wednesday launched a Rs438 crore initial public offer (IPO) as part of the disinvestment programme through which government will offload 26% of its holding.

“The company will not receive any proceeds from the offer as all of it will go to the selling shareholder, which is the government," Dinesh Kumar Likhi, chairman and managing director said. The share sale will be undertaken on behalf of the President acting through the defence ministry, the company said, adding that 1% of the issue is reserved for employees who, along with retail investors, will get a Rs3 discount from the above price band.

SBI Caps and IDBI Capital Markets & Securities are the book-running lead managers to the issue. Set up in 1973, Midhani with an aim of achieving self-reliance in research, development and supply of critical alloys and products of national security and strategic importance.
