Crony Capitalism and Baba Ramdev
Ruchi Soya, a listed company goes into insolvency. They owed Rs. 12146 crores to PSU banks. SBI writes off 933 crores and settles its dues of Rs. 1,816 crore to 883 crores. Other banks - PNB, CBI etc write off more than half their loans
2. Having reduced the liabilities to less than half, NCLT puts it up for sale. Only two bidders remained - Patanjali and Adani Wilmar. Adanis having bid initially, withdraw, leaving only Patanjali in the race.
3. The bid of Patanjali was Rs. 4350 crores of which 3250 crores would be funded by banks led by SBI a bank that wrote off 933 crores. The security for the loans were the same Ruchi Soya stock which was written down to Zero in the Debt restructuring plan agreed by the banks.
4. Now we have a situation where the banks that wrote off massive amounts are now funding another loan to Patanjali to acquire the same company where they wrote off debts.
5. It doesn't stop here. SEBI mandates a 25% public shareholding to be listed on the stock exchanges to ensure liquidity and avoid price manipulation. NCLT played along and ordered listing even though public shareholding was just 1%. SEBI played dead and did not challenge order.
6. Price manipulation begins. There were no sellers in the market. Even the 1% was closely held. The stock zoomed from Rs.3.50 to Rs. 1053 in two years. Now, Ruchi Soya, a company that Patanjali acquired in Dec 2019 with just 1000 crore of own money is valued at Rs.31,190 Crores.
7. Ruchi Soya, now owned 99.5% by Patanjali, is now coming with a public issue diluting just 20% and raising 4300 crores. Remember, they bought 100% of the company at 4350 crores. They will also repay all the debt with investor money.
8. The bankers wrote off a few thousand crores. The initial shareholders were written off to zero. The bankers again funded the acquisition of the same company with securities of the same shares by Baba Ramdev. The small investors will again buy equity worth 4300 crores.
9. The same banks may subscribe to the shares in the QIP portion. Someday, these bankers may be investigated for using our money to enrich an individual. The depositors lost. The shareholders lost. And Baba Ramdev will own 80% of a 31000-crore company with no investment
Why none raising matter to supreme court ...banks remain silent...sebi remain silent... SC must take cognizence and issue notices to center,sebi,baba on massive irregulerity .
It is not pre 2014 when SC and other democratic institutions worked independently. In the current state of country no one will dare raising their voice against Adani and Baba both. So only thing one can do is avoid being part of such fund raising.
@IPO Mitr Check how many court judgements got changed after the they were made before 2014. From where Mr. Ambani came everyone knows how they used to evade the taxes at that time. Isn't that public News?
Who was thinking of shorting Ruchi Soya till its listing?? Today 10% up. Market is not that easy baby.

Withdraw the bids window will open on 28 /03/22 29/03/22 and 30/03/2022 as per the sebi order it is alleged that message sms was send to patanjali ayurved users to invest inthe offer
@Chem Cho, Thanks for your message, I just read as well. Unfortunate that refund will come late for the HNI's. However, another negative attraction for Ruchi Soya. I am more confident now that it wont go down below 700. and its just a matter of one QTR results, to burst from this levels. (purely my view only... so much vested interest)
Thanks

So, now ... HNI will get refund on 6th April … instead of the original schedule of 4th April … so will they have to pay extra interest for 2 days ???
@Eagleye, Of course, for those HNI's from NBFC funded will have to pay 2 more days. This will give little more breakeven price, good for the self funded HNI and retailers (“blessing in disguise.”), my guess.
Thanks

Experts, please give your valuable opinion on SEBI notification on the opening of bid withdrawal window,
whether this will have any adverse impact on the listing of FPO?
and what are the risk factors in such situations? if any
Thank you in advance

When in doubt stay on sidelines. SEBI order does cause a doubt but may not have that impact on listing as persons in doubt will skip and listing day is still 8 days away
क्या इसका मतलब यह भी है कि जिन्होंने सिर्फ १ lot के लिए apply किया था, वो अब और भी lots के लिए (दुबारा) apply कर सकेंगे? या यह सिर्फ application withdrawal का order है, sebi से canvassing बन्द कराने के लिए? झलकने में तो circulated sms कच्हेरि में गैर कानूनी शायद नहीं कहलायेगा।
