The Government's proposed sale of 10% stake in Coal India Ltd. (CIL) is unlikely to materialise before April, reports a financial newspaper.
Lack of appetite among potential investors as well as objections raised by some existing stakeholders could upset the plan, according to the business daily.
Few potential foreign investors have dropped their plans to invest in CIL citing pressure from environmental activists, reports the newspaper. 
Also, global merchant bankers have stayed away from the line-up of lead managers for the CIL issue, it adds.
The Department of Disinvestment (DoD) recently selected five domestic investment bankers to manage the proposed CIL issue.
Following the 10% stake sale in January this year, the Government's stake in CIL now stands at 79.65%.
