Momentum in the primary market seems to be far from slowing down with four public issues lined up for debut and four listings in queue for the week beginning September 4.
An optimistic mood in the broader markets seems to be the key reason behind all the action in the IPO space.
Four companies are waiting to raise more than Rs 1,350 crore from the public in the coming week with Ratnaveer Precision Engineering being the first to hit the market with a Rs 165-crore offer on September 4. The price band for the issue, which closes on September 6, has been fixed at Rs 93-98.
The stainless steel-based products maker, which plans to raise Rs 135.24 crore from fresh issues and Rs 29.79 crore from an offer-for-sale (OFS), caters to industries such as automotive, power plants, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, building and construction, and electrical appliances.
Healthcare service provider Jupiter Life Line Hospitals will keep its public issue open for bidding from September 6-8 at a price band of Rs 695-735 per share.
The IPO comprises a fresh issuance of shares worth Rs 542 crore, and an offer-for-sale (OFS) of 44.5 lakh shares, amounting to Rs 327.08 crore, at the upper price band, by promoters and other shareholders. At a projected mop-up of Rs 869.08 crore, Jupitar is the largest among the four IPOs.
