The stock has touched an intraday high of Rs 451 and an intraday low of Rs 421.40.

Reliance Power Ltd sets 3-for-5 bonus share

Reliance Power Ltd on Sunday set a 3-for-5 bonus share issue in an attempt to cheer shareholders after a miserable debut following a record $3 billion initial public offer.

Shareholders other than the founders will receive three bonus shares for every five held, effectively reducing the cost of the shares to Rs 269 for retail shareholders compared to a discounted IPO price of Rs 430.

For institutions, the bonus issue would cut the price to Rs 281 a share compared to an IPO price of 450 rupees.

Chairman Anil Ambani on Sunday said he was also giving up 2.6 percent of his shareholding in Reliance Power to Reliance Energy Ltd, which owns about 45 per cent in Reliance Power, so its ownership structure remains intact.

A proposed IPO for another group company was on track subject to market conditions, he said.

"We've seen very turbulent conditions in the global and Indian capital Markets," he said at a news conference.

"The Reliance Power IPO closed at a time when the market was close to an all-time high. But clearly, since then there has been turbulence in the Markets," he said.

"After considering these adverse changes, we have decided on a bonus issue to protect the interests of long-term investors."

The Reliance Power offer was fully subscribed within a minute of its opening and had attracted bids worth $190 billion from over 4 million investors in January, just days before stock Markets worldwide went into a tailspin.

India's benchmark 30-share BSE index is down 18 per cent from a record high of 21,206.77 hit on Jan. 10.

Shares in Reliance Power dived 17 per cent on their trading debut on Feb. 11.

News that the company would consider bonus shares or other measures had lifted sentiment last week. But at Friday's close they were still more than 7 per cent below the IPO price.

The slump in Reliance Power, a unit of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group, had irked investors who complained they were lured to invest by promises from the firm, which has no operating power plants and is unlikely to report strong profits for five years.

The company has reminded investors that there were risks attached to equity investments, and has said its shares were hit by weak market sentiment. It also blamed unidentified rivals.

The turbulent market has recently forced three firms to shelve their IPOs, including a $1.6.

Reliance Power may list with 35-40% premium

Girish Nadkarni, ED- Capital Markets, Avendus Advisors said that for Reliance Power, initially people expected a 100% premium over its issue price but that has come down significantly. Retail investors can get reasonable amount of gains on listing. It may see 35-40% upside over the issue price on listing.

Excerpts of CNBC-TV18’s exclusive interview with Girish Nadkarni:

Q: What do you expect to see from Reliance Power listing next week?

A: I think the pricing that one expected initially which was a 100% premium to the issue has come down significantly but one would expect a reasonable amount of gain for the retail investors who have put in money. 35-40% upside over the issue price is what the market believes it will open at.

Q: How do you think things will shapeup from there because as we know for many of this strong blue chip IPOs, day one might be strong? But how do you expect things will shapeup for a story like Reliance Power from thereon?

A: We have seen all kinds of IPOs in the last two-three years. We have seen companies which have done very badly on listing even listing significantly at a discount to the issue price. But in a quarter over two quarters; we have seen some of the prices rally back based on performance. And some of the large real estate IPOs that came in somewhere in the last year did have some amount of volatility because of a weak opening and then this have rallied on the back of performance.

I would think a real test of a company’s IPO price is the price that one sees in the company after about 12-15 months from the date on which the IPO was launched. That is a true test of whether the IPO was correctly priced or incorrectly priced because market tends to value the future earnings of a company and therefore whether the company fulfil its promise of meeting those earnings in the next 12-15 months or not. The price at the end of that period is a true indicator of the correctness of the pricing of the IPO.

Disclosure: It is safe to assume that my clients & I may have an investment interest in the sectors that have been spoken about.

CRISIL assigns grade 4/5 to Reliance Power IPO

CRISIL has come out with research report on Reliance Power IPO. The firm has assigned a CRISIL IPO Grade '4/5' to the proposed initial public offer of Reliance Power (RPower), in a report dated December 31, 2007.

The company proposed public issue of 260 million equity shares of face value Rs 10 targeted at an issue size in the range of INR 105 to 115 billion.

CRISIL research report on Reliance Power IPO

CRISIL has assigned a CRISIL IPO Grade '4/5' to the proposed initial public offer of Reliance Power (RPower). This grade indicates that the fundamentals of the issue are above average, in relation to other listed equity securities in India.

The grading assigned reflects CRISIL's view that strong demand for power in India will catalyse regulatory facilitation for private participation in the power sector over the medium to long term. In this scenario, early movers like RPower will benefit from attractive business opportunities that are likely to come about as a result, especially if they achieve high levels of financial capability, as is likely for RPower after its proposed IPO.

The grading also reflects the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group's commitment that RPower will be the sole repository of the Group's economic interest in the power generation segment. The grading is tempered by the fact that RPower is planning to put up capacity, on a scale and within a time frame, never achieved in India before and therefore it is likely to face significant implementation challenges.

The grading also reflects the fact that power generators in India will have to depend on SEBs for off take over the short-to-medium term and that their return will be subject to the regulatory oversight in case of Two-part tariff based Projects such as Rosa I (600 MW) and Rosa II (300 MW). Also, returns on the projects won through the competitive bidding route may not be substantially higher due to competition.

About the company

Reliance Power is a part of the Reliance ADA Group and has been established with the objective to develop, construct and operate power projects both domestically and internationally.

RPower does not have any power plant in operation as of now. The company proposes to install 28,200 Mega watt (MW) generation capacity over the next 8 years. Of the total proposed capacity, six projects totalling 7060-MW (Butibori, Shahapur coal, Sasan, Rosa-I &II and Urthing Sobla) are in various stages of implementation. Commercial operations of the first unit of proposed project, Rosa-I (2*300 MW), is expected by December 2009. All the six identified projects would be executed through wholly-owned subsidiaries of RPower, except Urthing Sobla and Butibori, where RPower would hold 80 percent stake and 74 percent stake, respectively.

Besides, the aforementioned identified projects which are in advanced stages of implementation, RPower also proposes to set up seven more generation projects, which are in developmental stage. These include the gas-fired Dadri (7,480 MW) and Shahapur gas project (2,800 MW); the coal-fired MP Power project (3,960 MW) and Krishnapatnam (4,000 MW); three run-of-the-river hydroelectric projects, Siyom (1,000 MW), Tato II (700 MW) and Kalai II (1,200 MW).

SEBI approves Reliance Power's IPO

Anil Ambani group on Friday got the regulatory go-ahead from SEBI for the public issue of Reliance Power Ltd, the group's first IPO and estimated to raise about $3 billion, the highest ever proceeds in India.

Securities and Exchange Board of India has issued its observations on the draft prospectus of RPL, while clearing the way for IPO, sources close to the development said.

The public offer by the ADAG firm Reliance Energy's subsidiary is expected to be launched early next year and could raise over three billion dollars, eclipsing the public issue of realty giant DLF, which had raised more than two billion dollars and is the biggest ever IPO so far.

The go-ahead comes a day after SEBI disposed off a complaint against the IPO, while saying that "the entire promoter quota, that is, 20 per cent of the capital in RPL shall be locked in for a period of five years from the date of allotment in the proposed IPO."

SEBI on Thursday put a rider of five-year lock-in period on promoters' equity while disposing off a complaint against the proposed initial public offer of Anil Ambani group company Reliance Power Ltd.

Listing out the eligibility criteria for computation of promoters' contribution, SEBI said: "The entire promoter quota, that is, 20 per cent of the capital in RPL shall be locked in for a period of five years from the date of allotment in the proposed IPO."

A two-member bench comprising members T C Nair and V K Chopra, accordingly disposed off the case that it was hearing following an order by Mumbai High Court on a PIL.

When contacted, an ADAG spokesperson declined to comment. While SEBI wanted full disclosure by promoters and the lead managers as per the various statutes and guidelines to protect the interest of investors, it did not take up the issue of 'short charging of shareholders' due to transfer of projects from ADAG group company Reliance Energy Ltd to RPL.

The company is estimated to raise up to three billion dollars through the proposed public offer.
