How much to apply for?
Hydropower is considered one of the most important sectors for the development of the economy because of its huge potential to generate electricity which can be sold to other countries benefitting the economy.
When we observe the current scenario, investors have shown a high level of confidence, which is shown by the huge demand for the last few months. Almost all of the stocks have been trading significantly higher than their book value.
When we look at the current trend of IPO in the market, we see that more than 15 lakhs investors have been applying in the recent issue’s which is a huge number when we compare it with past applicants. This shows that, even if a quarter of this number applied for the issue of Singati Hydro Energy Limited (SHEL), the issue will be oversubscribed. Since the "10 kitta rule" still holds true for IPO; 269,700 applicants will be lucky enough to get the 10 shares of Singati Hydro. So, it is advisable to apply only 10 units.
