Sterlite Power IPO: The Most Awaited IPO for 2022?

Updated: Nov 1, 2022


Sterlite Power, the name itself is enough to let anyone know that it is a player in the power sector which has been on a different rally altogether this year. 'Sterlite' rings a bell and connects it to the Vedanta group and to the billionaire Anil Agarwal.

The company has already filed its DRHP and is looking to raise capital to repay debt of the company and its subsidiary Khargone Transmission Limited. The IPO dates will be announced soon.


Company Overview

The company is based in India and Brazil and is a large player in the power sector transmission industry. Sterlite is the largest private player in terms of project portfolio under the interstate TBCB route with a market share of 26% of transmission projects granted through the route. Sterlite began operations in Brazil in 2017 as part of their international expansion.


Demerger and Delisting Earlier

In 2015, the company decided that Sterlite Technologies will become a pure-play telecom products and solutions company providing broadband solutions for fully converged networks while the power products business and power transmission grid business will be demerged into ‘Sterlite Power Transmission Ltd’, a separate entity.


Share Allotment during Demerger

The equity shares of the telecom business were to be publicly listed, while those of the newly formed power business were unlisted. Investors had the choice to continue to be associated with one or both of the two businesses.

Once the demerger scheme was effective, investors retained their equity share (FV Rs. 2) in the telecom company. Additionally, for every 5 equity share held in Sterlite Technologies, shareholders had an option to receive 1 equity share of Rs. 2 each of Sterlite Power Transmission issued at a premium of Rs. 110.30 or one redeemable preference share (RPS) of Rs. 2 each issued at a premium of Rs. 110.30 each. The shareholders had the option of continuing to be invested in SPTL or redeeming the RPS through liquidity options. The RPS was to be redeemed within 30 days of issue if opted for.
