Shareholder Quota: A Game Changer
NTPC Green Energy has reserved ₹1,000 crore (10% of the IPO) for existing NTPC shareholders, a move designed to reward loyalty and enhance participation. Eligible shareholders, defined as individuals holding NTPC shares as of the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) filing date, can apply for this quota. As of Day 1, 26% of the shareholder quota was subscribed, reflecting strong interest.
Additionally, NTPC shareholders can submit bids under the general retail or non-institutional investor categories, increasing their chances of allotment.
