IPOPowerica Debuts on Indian Stock Exchanges with Modest Discounts
Powerica, a leading provider of power solutions, made its debut on the Indian stock exchanges on Thursday, listing its shares at a discount from its initial public offer (IPO) price. The company's shares were listed at Rs 366 per share on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), marking a discount of 7.34 percent from the IPO price of Rs 395 per share.
The Rs 1,100-crore issue, which had a price band of Rs 375-395 per share, saw a 1.45 times subscription in the primary market between March 24-27. This moderate response to the IPO was reflected in the company's listing performance, with shares trading at a discount of 5.06 percent on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), where they were listed at Rs 375 per share.
Despite the modest listing, Powerica's market debut was better than the expectations in the grey market, which had forecast up to 2 percent listing gains. The company's market capitalization post listing of shares stood at Rs 4,745.70-crore, marking a significant milestone in its journey as a publicly traded entity.
