After its maiden IPO in October 2007, Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL) is now entering with FPO. As per latest information, the FPO’s price band is fixed at Rs. 85-90 per share having a face value of Rs. 10 each. . The issue is opening on 03.12.13 and will close on 06.12.13. The purpose of the issue is to generate funds for transmission project and dilution of GoI stake. The total number of shares on offer are 78.70 crore including GoI’s stake sale of 18.51 crore share. Of the fresh shares, about 2.4 per cent will be reserved for the employees. This is the second follow-on offering from PGCIL that sold 10 per cent stake along with a similar stake divested by the government in November 2010 at an issue price of Rs 90 a share.

The issue is lead managed by SBI Capital Markets, Kotak Securities, Citigroup, ICICI Securities and UBS who are advising PGCIL on its FPO for 17 per cent stake sale, comprising 4 per cent stake dilution by Government and 13 per cent fresh equity by the company. 50 percent of the net issue is allocated to qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), 35 per cent for retail category and 15 per cent for high networth investors. In addition, 0.38 per cent of the issue is reserved for employees. Retail category and employees shall be given a discount of 5 per cent on the issue price. A discount of Rs 4.50 (which is 5 per cent of the top end of the price band) will be available to retail investors and eligible employees on the issue price on allotment. After the stake sale, the Government’s holding in PowerGrid will come down to 57.89 per cent from the current 69.42 per cent. Karvy Computershare is the registrar to the issue. Post allotment, the shares will be listed on BSE and NSE.
 
On secondary market front the PGCIL counter closed at Rs 95.05 on Friday on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
