Ahead of its stock market debut on August 6, Juniper Green Energy's shares are commanding a Grey Market Premium (GMP) of approximately Rs 10 per share. Based on the upper end of the IPO price band at Rs 225, this suggests a potential listing gain of nearly 4% for investors.
The IPO, which was open for subscription from July 30 to August 3, saw robust interest, particularly from institutional investors. The overall issue was subscribed 7.97 times, with the Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) category experiencing a massive subscription of 24.94 times. Meanwhile, the Non-Institutional Investors (NII) portion was subscribed 1.82 times, and the Retail Individual Investors (RII) segment saw a 93% subscription rate.
The Rs 1,800 crore IPO consisted entirely of a fresh issue of 8 crore equity shares, priced between Rs 214 and Rs 225 per share. ICICI Securities acted as the book-running lead manager, and KFin Technologies served as the registrar for the issue.
Investors can check their allotment status through platforms such as KFin Technologies, NSE, and BSE by entering relevant details like PAN, application number, or DP/Client ID on the respective websites.
Juniper Green Energy plans to use a significant portion of the IPO proceeds to reduce debt. Specifically, Rs 683.24 crore will be allocated to repay or prepay certain borrowings, while Rs 728.69 crore will be invested in its material subsidiaries for similar purposes. The remaining funds will go towards general corporate purposes, with the company aiming to deploy around Rs 1,411.92 crore towards debt reduction.
