Those, who dont understand the value of HPL, Kindly dont post your useless comments. The company is very good in terms of medium to long term perspective. Septji, the comment posted by you is ****. The reason, why i am saying is that, the debt which currently stands at Rs. 540-550cr. This will be reduced drastically after the issue, which will reduce debt/equity to 0.33x against 1.55x. So they will save huge in terms of finance cost, which will eventually improve bottomline. Further, Himachal margins are more than HPL standalone business and the plant utilization is just 40% for himachal so increasing utilization will lead higher revenue contribution from himachal, which is currently ~6%. Just assume 10% contribution on the conservative side, the operating margins will be expanded by at least 1% in FY17. FY16 PAT (not pro forma) was around 35cr, they will do at least 80-90cr in FY17. Just give multiple of 20x (40-50% discount than havells & v-guard), the mcap should be around 1600-1800cr (potential upside of ~40%).
Also please look at Anchor list, Prashant jain (HDFC MF fund manager) is not fool by acquiring 36% of anchor size.
Out of total issue of 361 Cr.they are repaying the debt to the tune of Rs. 130 Cr only. Rest they are using for general corporate purpose and working capital needs. How will this reduce the debt/equity to 0.33x?
Rs. 180cr for working cap requirement will go towards repayment of ST loans considering that the improvement in the cash flows could help company to manage working capital in better way in coming time.
If you look at working capital of last 5yrs, average working capital requirement is around Rs. 100cr every year and operating cash flows bfore changes in WC in all year except FY12 is positive and stand at around Rs.100 cr so they can manage working capital with their operating cash flows easily. Going ahead, the improvement in operating margins will lead higher operating cash flows, further, capex cycle is also over so free cash flows will be increased, which will lead improvement in the valuations. Apart from that, they can pay good dividends, which was not the case in earlier years due to internal funds used to fund capex. This would improve ROE as well.
Dhavan if u think it is good apply I am just putting my opinion I am not stopping anyone from applying. If u think I am wrong so be it first timer like u come and disappear. IMO most of these pro HPL army r paid stooges we have seen many before u and will see many after u
I am not applying and if u read all my comments I have mentioned loan repayment will increase bottom line and late structural change with himachal energy is good however IMOit is still expensive compare to want is available in the market
By keeping name you cannot become like Warren Buffet.. It u have knowledge your name will over take warren buffet.. Don''t take help of name.. Secondly everybody is putting their views here. You are not the one to order anyone what to write or not to write... Keep ur views with u and apply..

IDBI Bank is banker of HPL and you may apply through physical form. However, before that you may check Online platform of bank again, it may have been enabled by that time.
If your Bank''s website/netbanking login doesn''t shows live IPO Name, you may file your offline ASBA Application at your nearest Broker''s Office. And keep the acknowledgement counter slip of the application for your reference. Many Broker''s are working in big retail volume for IPO, etc. for example you can try 9Star Broking. It''s pretty helpful. Even you can give your ASBA Bank and Pan Details through a online link and can get a printed IPO form. Nice services by 9Star.
· At a price band of INR 175-202, the issue is priced at 23.3-26.9x (post-issue), after consolidating the business of Himachal Energy, that was merged with the company in May 2016. The valuations at the offer price are at a ~29% discount to the valuation of peers like Havells, V-Guard, and Finolex Cables (Average TTM P/E: 38x).
· The company has low return ratios and high skew of product mix towards industrial categories.
· Post the repayment of debt, the interest costs of the company will come down significantly, but on account of dilution of equity, its ROE’s will remain at similar levels. Any significant improvement in ROCE’s will be hinged on the improvement in WC cycle going forward.
· We believe the IPO is fairly priced leaving little scope for re-rating.
what will happen if 50% Retail apply at Higher Band 202 and 50% Retail apply at lower band 175 ? Will all get allotment at applied price or different scenario ?
