R-Power IPO overbooked 72.7 times

R-Power IPO overbooked 72.7 times
RPL IPO subscribed 69 times

The Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Power created history on Friday when the company’s initial public offering (IPO) attracted cumulative bids worth, hold your breath, Rs 7,52,000 crore (around $180 billion). This is the highest-ever demand generated by any IPO so far in the country. The amount is equivalent to the aggregate market capitalisation of companies listed in Portugal and the Czech Republic markets taken together, according to Bloomberg.

According to bidding statistics available with the National Stock Exchange till 7 pm, investors bid for over 1,658 crore shares on on NSE and BSE, resulting in an oversubscription of 72.7 times. The QIB (qualified institutional buyers) portion was oversubscribed 70-80 times, while high net worth investors (HNIs) bid for shares over 200 times the size reserved for them.

The retail portion was subscribed 14-15 times, according to sources. Several banks subscribed to the offer. Public sector banks like Punjab National Bank, State Bank of India, Bank of India and Indian Overseas Bank put in bids worth Rs 1,500-2,000 crore, said the sources. Nearly 50 lakh applications were received in response to the mega offer.

The strong flow of applications continued unabated despite extremely bearish market on Friday. The index, in fact, has crashed nearly 2,000 points in the past four days on account of factors like weak global cues and diversion of liquidity to major IPOs like Reliance Power and Future Capital. R-Power had offered a total of 22.8 crore shares to the public through 100% book-building. The Rs 11,700-crore offer was fully subscribed in just a few minutes after it opened for subscription on Tuesday. The shares were offered in a price band of Rs 405-Rs 450.

Retail investors were, however, offered a discount of Rs 20 per share. R-Power is developing and building power projects locally and overseas. The company on its own and through subsidiaries is currently developing 13 medium- and large-sized power projects with a combined planned installed capacity of 28,200 mw.

RIL Q3 net profit jumps 162%, total income up 23%


Reliance Industries has posted a net profit of Rs 8,079 crore for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a jump of over 162 per cent from the profit after tax of Rs 3,081 crore reported in the corresponding quarter of 2006.

Consequently, 6,01,40,560 equity shares of Rs 10 each were allotted to shareholders of IPCL on Oct 13, 2007.

In view thereof, figures for the quarter and nine months ended Dec 31, 2006 have been restated. Exceptional item represents gains arising out of transactions concerning Reliance Petroleum Ltd shares.

With global markets not making any significant recovery from recent losses, the bears stormed the major Indian bourses once again and despite facing some strong resistance from their rivals in afternoon trade, stayed put and went on a rampage during the closing minutes of the session today.

So strong was the sell-off in certain heavyweights that the Sensex, which had bounced back to 20,026.12 around mid-afternoon, went crashing down to a low 19,643.76 with not much time to go for the closing bell. Notwithstanding a minor recovery from that level, the Sensex, recording its fourth straight loss, ended the session at 19,700.82, down 167.29 points or 0.84% from its previous closing mark. With today's loss, the Sensex has lost over 1100 points in four sessions this week.

FMCG stocks ITC (up nearly 4%) and Hindustan Unilever (1.1%) had a good outing today. Grasim Industries moved up by over 3% to Rs 3360. Maruti Suzuki, which touched a high of Rs 894 in intra-day trades, closed with a handsome gain of 2.8% at Rs 867.30.
