The much-anticipated initial public offering (IPO) of NTPC Green Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the country’s largest power producer NTPC, is generating keen interest from investors eligible to apply under the shareholder quota.
The Rs 10,000-crore IPO will be open for public subscription from November 19 to 22. In addition to retail, high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), and employees, NTPC Green Energy's share sale will also include a reserved shareholder category, providing NTPC shareholders a chance to participate in the offering.
NTPC Green Energy Ltd has earmarked 10 percent of its upcoming initial public offer for existing shareholders of its parent company, NTPC, potentially enhancing allotment prospects for these shareholders. According to the company’s Red Herring Prospectus (RHP), "equity shares with a face value of Rs 10 each will be allocated to eligible shareholders on a proportionate basis, with this reserved portion not exceeding 10 percent of the total issue size."
