The government has set a floor or the minimum offer price for Nalco's share at Rs 40 apiece, which was a 10 per cent discount to Thursday's close of Rs 44.65. "The floor or the minimum offer price for Nalco's share sale has been set at Rs 40 apiece, which was a 10 per cent discount to yesterday's close of Rs 44.65," NALCO said in a release.

The Company reported a net profit of Rs 119 crores for the third quarter of 2012-13, as against Rs 51.22 crore for the corresponding period of FY12. Total income of the company increased by 16.67 percent to Rs 1,692.82 crore for the quarter ended December 31 as compared to Rs 1,450.85 core in the corresponding period of previous fiscal.
