WEL, one of the major participants in India's solar manufacturing sector, plans to make a huge step in FY24 by releasing its Initial Public Offering (IPO) to the market. Investors are invited to submit an application for an exit through the Offer for Sale (OFS) process after receiving a notice from the company. This is a significant move for WEL as it gears up to reach out to a wider investor base and possibly raise a sizable amount of money through the IPO.
WEL was successful in raising north of $250 million through a private placement during FY22-24, demonstrating the high level of investor interest and trust in the company's prospects. This financial infusion is anticipated to be crucial in supporting the company's expansion and growth plans.
It's important to keep in mind, nevertheless, that the company's shares are presently trading in the overpriced area on the unlisted market. The high expectations surrounding the company's potential performance on the public market are highlighted by this, which implies that there is a substantial desire among investors for WEL's shares even before its IPO.
It will be interesting to see how WEL uses its position in the market and investor interest as it pushes through with its IPO preparations to meet its financial goals and further solidify its market presence.
