Mumbai, Jan. 16 Two days into public subscription, Reliance Power’s 22.8-crore share offering was subscribed over 14 times late on Wednesday evening, according to the composite data on investor response available at the NSE Web site.

The company received applications for a total of 321.50 crore shares with two days still to go for the earliest closing date — January 18.

Applications for as many as 320.92 crore shares came in at the upper price band of Rs 450 (of Rs 10 face value) while a mere 21.75 crore shares were bid at the ‘cut-off’ price.

On the question of retail participation, a merchant banking source said, “Over 10 lakh applications had been received from retail investors at the end of the second day” though official data on retail investors were not available as late as 7 p.m. On the response at the upper end of the price band, Mr Dinesh Thakkar, Chief Managing Director of Angel Broking, said that the phenomenon is in line with that observed in the past ‘popular issues’.

“Re-rating of the power sector has taken place over the last year. Valuation of the Reliance Power IPO seems to be riding on the positive sentiment for the power sector. But there is also some concern about the pricing,” said Mr Nitin A. Khandkar, Senior Vice-President, Research, Keynote Capital Ltd.
