Adani Power Ltd IPO opens today, Views and Analysis

The IPO of Adani Power, promoted by the owners of Mundra Port & SEZ, opens today on June 28 and plans to mop up to Rs 3,016 crore from the primary market. This is the second biggest in country's history after Reliance Power.

Basic Details of the IPO:

  • Books Open 28th July 2009, Tuesday
  • Books Close 31st July 2009, Friday
  • Price Band Rs.90 - Rs.100.
  • Lot Size 65 x multiples of 65 Equity Shares
  • Issue Size Primary offering of 301,652,031Equity shares (~13.8% of post issue capital)
  • Employee Reservation 8,000,000 Equity Shares
  • Net Issue Size 293,652,031 Equity Shares (~13.5% of post issue capital)

  • HNI Book 10% of Net issue size - not less than 29,365,203 shares
  • Book Running lead managers DSP ML, JM Financial, Enam, IDFC SSKI, Kotak, Morgan Stanley, I-Sec, SBI Caps

The rough date of listing is around August 20th 2009. As I write this blog article the news is out that the offer is already oversubscribed 3.5 times.



The valuation for this IPO doesn’t looks cheap compared to its peers like reliance power. In terms of enterprise value per megawatt of power, Adani power seems to be cheaper than reliance power. However on the project financing front, the company has over-leveraged itself with a Debt-to-Equity ratio of 80%.



The company has decided to use only Chinese equipment at all its plants, which have been dogged by a host of technical issues when used for operating Indian plants in the past. The company also lacks any significant operating history to execute projects of such mammoth scale.

Overall the issue seems to be just neutral but yeah it can be used as a listing strategy, to exit on listing.

Real estate prices in India face slowdown

Real estate price in India is stabilizing and is facing steady slowdown especially in the metros. I have taken Bangalore as an example in this blog but other places too are affected by similar concerns. In Bangalore the real estate price is going crazy, though none of the real estate agencies would like to agree to this fact. Property prices moves due to the basic principle of Demand & Supply When demand is high & supply low prices will go up When demand is low & supply is high prices will come down For example let’s assume that somebody has bought a property for Rs X and he is trying to sell the property (say after a year), there can be three options, assumption being that the owner is in need of money and cannot wait for more than 3 months to sell the property. When the property prices are zooming everywhere> Here the owner will try to add as much premium to the property as possible, wait for three months and sell off in the last month at the highest bid ( RsX + RsY) W
