BENGALURU, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Indian kitchenware products maker Cello World's initial public offering (IPO) was oversubscribed by nearly 40 times, higher than similar IPOs recently, inviting bids worth 556.19 billion rupees ($6.7 billion), exchange data showed on Wednesday.

Investors bid for more than 858.3 million shares, compared with the 22 million shares on offer, with institutional investors showing the most interest, the data showed.

"Despite markets being on weaker note, Cello World offer received an overwhelming response, although retail investors remained cautious as IPO has only an offer for share sale from existing stakeholders," said Prashant Tapse, senior vice president (research) at Mehta Equities.

Cello World's shareholders -- including its promoters, an Indian market term for large shareholders who can influence company policy -- are selling stock worth 19 billion rupees in the IPO, while the company itself if not offering any shares.

Other IPOs where the company did not sell shares have seen tepid interest. For example, the IPOs of Blue Jet Healthcare BLUJ.NS, Mankind Pharma MNKI.NS and Concord Biotech CONB.NS were oversubscribed 7-27 times.

Cello World has set a price band of 617-648 rupees per share for the IPO. At the top end, it will be valued at 137.53 billion rupees, three times rival Borosil's BORS.BO market value and nearly seven times that of Stovekraft STVE.NS and Butterfly Gandhimathi Appliances BUTT.NS.

"On valuation, it seems the issue is reasonably priced, reflecting an expected revenue and profit growth," said Tapse.

The company's consolidated net profit jumped 25.2% year-over-year to 774.4 million rupees in the quarter ended June 30, while revenue rose 9%.

In that same period, Borosil's profit shrunk 62.5% due to higher raw material costs, while revenue climbed 16%.

Cello World is expected to list on the stock exchanges on Monday.

Kotak Mahindra Capital and ICICI Securities were among the lead IPO's managers.

BENGALURU, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Shares of IRM Energy IRME.NS fell as much as 10.9% in trading debut on Thursday, valuing the Indian natural gas distributor at 18.48 billion rupees ($222.03 million) in a weak market.

The stock fell to a low of 450 rupees in early trade after opening at 477.25 rupees. Its initial public offer (IPO) price was at 505 rupees.

The benchmark Nifty 50 .NSEI was down 1.3%, while the more domestically-focused mid-cap .NIFMDCP100 and small-cap .NIFSMCP100 stocks declined more than 2% each. .BO

Investors bid for about 206.3 million IRM Energy shares by the final day of subscription, 27.05 times more than the 7.6 million shares on offer, exchange data showed.

"The IPO was well-received by investors and oversubscribed. However, the current market condition could be a reason behind a poor listing," said Shivani Nyati, head of wealth at Swastika Investmart.

The company, with a diversified customer portfolio and distribution network, is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for natural gas in India, Nyati added.

The IPO of IRM Energy, a group company of Cadila Pharmaceuticals, comprised of fresh issue of 10.8 million shares worth 5.44 billion rupees, according to the prospectus.

The company plans to use about 3 billion rupees of proceeds from the IPO to fund the development of the gas distribution network in Namakkal and Tiruchirappalli in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.

The Ahmedabad-based company builds, operates and expands the gas distribution network for industrial, domestic and automobile customers.

HDFC Bank and BOB Capital Markets were book-running lead managers for the IPO.

So far this year, 173 Indian companies have gone public, raising $4.46 billion, compared with 115 companies that raised $6.06 billion in the same period last year, according to LSEG data.

BENGALURU, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Shares of JSW Infrastructure JSWN.NS, India's No.2 commercial port operator, jumped 20.17% in pre-open trade on Tuesday, valuing the company at 300.30 billion rupees ($3.61 billion) and setting it on course to join a host of other successful domestic debutantes.

The stock was at 143 rupees in pre-open trade, compared with its initial public offer (IPO) price of 119 rupees.

JSW Infra is part of the billionaire Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group and is the first business of the steel-to-software conglomerate to go public since JSW Energy JSWE.NS in 2010.

The company raised 28 billion rupees by selling fresh shares. JSW Group did not sell any shares.

The company is set to follow a host of successful debutantes in the past few months -- ranging from cable maker RR Kabel RRKA.NS to Concord Biotech CONB.NS -- helped by robust investor appetite that has also powered the blue-chip stock market index to a record high.

So far this year, 227 Indian companies have gone public, raising $6.62 billion, compared with 172 companies that raised $10.53 billion in the same period last year, according to LSEG data.

JSW Infra's profit more than doubled to 7.50 billion rupees in fiscal 2023, while its revenue jumped about 41% to 31.95 billion rupees, according to its IPO prospectus.

The company plans to use the IPO proceeds to fund expansion projects and repay debt, which was 22.16 billion rupees as of March 31.

JSW Infra aims to nearly double its operational capacity to 300 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by 2030, but that would still trail Adani Ports's APSE.NS current capacity of about 558 MMTPA.

Adani Ports, a listed unit of billionaire Gautam Adani's namesake conglomerate, has a market value of about 1.78 trillion rupees.

Axis Capital, Credit Suisse Securities (India) and Kotak Mahindra Capital were among the lead managers for the IPO.

BENGALURU, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Indian commercial port operator JSW Infrastructure received bids worth 606.13 billion rupees ($7.29 billion) in its initial public offering (IPO), exchange data showed on Wednesday.

The JSW Group-owned company received bids for 5.09 billion shares at between 113 and 119 rupees, 37.37 times more than the 136.3 million shares offered, National Stock Exchange data showed, with institutional investors showing the most interest.

The IPO of India's second-largest commercial port operator in terms of cargo handling capacity was JSW Group's first since JSW Energy in 2010, and comprised of fresh issue of shares worth up to 28 billion rupees.

JSW Energy JSWE.NS debuted in January 2010, and has since risen more than four-fold in value.

JSW Infra, which competes with Adani Ports APSE.NS and Gujarat Pipavav Port GPPL.NS, is due to be listed on Indian exchanges next week.

The company plans to use proceeds from the IPO to repay certain borrowings and invest in expansion projects at its units JSW Jaigarh Port and JSW Mangalore Container Terminal. It had a net debt of 22.16 billion rupees as of March 31, 2023.

It also plans to expand its operational capacity to up to 300 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) across its ports and terminals by 2030 from around 158 MTPA currently.

In comparison, Adani Ports had a total operating capacity of 558 MMTPA as on March 31.

JSW Infra's profit for fiscal 2023 more than doubled to 7.50 billion rupees year-on-year, while its revenue from operations rose 40.6% to 31.95 billion rupees, its IPO prospectus showed.

The listing would follow successful debuts by companies like Aeroflex Industries AERO.NS and Concord Biotech CONB.NS in the past few days owing to improved domestic appetite, and robust foreign and domestic fund inflows.
