Further, eligible NTPC shareholders bidding in the shareholders’ quota would also be able to apply for shares in the retail portion or non-institutional investors’ portion, and such bids will not be treated as multiple bids.

Reacting to the development, shares of NTPC climbed more than 4% intraday on Thursday, September 19, to hit their all-time high of ₹431.85 apiece on the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSE). However, the PSU stock pared some gains to settle 2.38% higher at ₹424 apiece on the NSE.

Meanwhile, NGEL’s DRHP revealed that its IPO would be entirely a fresh issuance of equity shares, with no offer-for-sale (OFS) component.

The proceeds from the fresh issuance of the issue, to the tune of ₹7,500 crore, will be used to repay or prepay a part or all of NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd’s (NREL) outstanding loans. NREL is a subsidiary of NGEL. A portion of funds will also be used for general corporate purposes.
