The IPO of Bharti Hexacom witnessed substantial investor interest, with subscription rates soaring to an impressive 29.88 times by the deadline on April 5.
This overwhelming response underscores the market's confidence and enthusiasm for the telecom arm.
The issue price for the public offering has been set at Rs 570 per share, as detailed in the exchange's notice.
The IPO, which raised Rs 4,275 crore, consisted solely of an offer-for-sale (OFS) of 7.5 crore equity shares, representing a 15 percent stake in the company. Notably, there was no fresh issue component in the IPO.
Despite reporting robust revenue figures, Bharti Hexacom disclosed a significant 67.2 percent decline in net profit to Rs 549.2 crore for the fiscal year 2022-23.
This decline was primarily attributed to a larger base in the previous year, which included exceptional gains totaling Rs 1,951.1 crore.
Bharti Hexacom operates as a telecommunications service provider in Rajasthan and the Northeast regions, solidifying its position within the industry.
