New Delhi: The government will sell over 2.75 crore equity shares in Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF) on June 29-30 for about Rs 200 crore as part of its plan to divest shares in PSUs.

On June 29, only non-retail investors can place their bids while on the following day, retail investors as well as non-retail investors who chose to carry forward their bids, can place them.
Retail investors will be allocated offer shares at the discounted price, which is at a discount of 5 percent to the cut-off price. Twenty per cent of the offer size will be reserved for retail investors.
