Conclusion:
Hydropower is considered one of the most important sectors for the development of the economy because of its huge potential to generate electricity which can be sold to other countries benefitting the economy.
That being said, for the last few years, hydropower stocks in the stock market were not digested by the investors in the market for numerous reasons; some of them being the loss of craze for the investors in the hydropower stocks, the trend for the hydro stocks in the market was over which is why most of the stocks were trading below their par value of Rs. 100.
However, when we observe the current scenario, investors have been interested in this sector again, which is shown by the huge demand for the last few months. Almost all of the stocks have been trading above their par value signifying the high level of confidence in the sector.
When we look at the current trend of IPO in the market, we see that more than 15 lakhs investors have been applying in the recent issue’s which is a huge number when we compare it with past applicants. This shows that, even if a quarter of this number applied for the issue of Greenlife Hydropower Company Limited (GLH), the issue will be oversubscribed. Since 10 kitta rule exists for IPO; 3,25,165 applicants will be lucky enough to get the 10 shares of Greenlife Hydropower. So, it is advisable to apply only 10 units.
