IPO scam: Jhaveri settles case with SEBI

SEBI has agreed to dispose of pending proceedings against Mr Gautam Jhaveri for his involvement in the IPO scam of 2003-04, following settlement of the case through a consent order.

Mr Zhaveri who applied for the consent order, paid Rs 2.7 crore towards settlement, including a disgorgement amount of Rs 2.36 crore, settlement charges of Rs 23.6 lakh, compounding charges of Rs 9 lakh and legal charges of Rs 1 lakh.

The applicant (Zhaveri) had been proceeded against for irregular dealings in shares issued through IPOs, and for cornering shares meant for retail investors, making unlawful profits from the shares upon their listing.

SEBI had banned the applicant from dealing in the securities market; initiated adjudication proceedings against him, prosecution proceedings in the ACMM court in Mumbai under the Companies Act; and a protest petition before the CBI court for non-filing of chargesheet against the applicant.

SEBI’s consent order disposes of all these pending proceedings. SEBI will file an application for withdrawal of its protest application at the CBI special court, and shall not oppose compounding of prosecution in the ACMM court, the regulator said in its consent order.

SEBI said it would also drop proceedings against Pratik Stock Vision Pvt Ltd in the matter of carry forward transactions in the shares of Global Tele-systems Ltd in 2000-01. The applicant offered to settle the case, offering Rs 1.25 lakh towards settlement charges, reports The Hindu Business Line.

Kabirdass Motor plans IPO to raise Rs 60 cr

Chennai-based Kabirdass Motor Company, which sells Xite electric scooters, is planning to raise Rs 60 crore through an IPO.

The issue will be open in 45 to 60 days, said Mr Murali Kabirdass, Managing Director.

The fund-raising is primarily meant to set up a manufacturing facility with two-lakh-unit capacity at Sriperumbudur near Chennai. The project cost is Rs 102 crore. A Rs 20-crore loan from Union Bank and Rs 20 crore through equity funding will meet the rest of the project cost. The new facility is expected to be operational in eight to 10 months, said Mr Kabirdass.

The company – which makes four 250-watt scooters and one 1,500-watt scooter – has 33 dealers spread across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Kabirdass Motor plans to expand its dealership network to other States, including Kerala and Maharashtra.

Since its inception in February 2007, the company has sold around 2,000 electric scooters, of which 90 per cent were in rural Tamil Nadu. Mr Kabirdass said the target buyers of its 250-watt variants are teenagers who typically travel less than 20 km a day.

A driving licence is not required to ride this low-power scooter.

Mr Kabirdass said the company is in talks with a few European electric vehicle makers to acquire the licence to manufacture and market their products in India.
