Indowind Energy Limited Logo

•    This is the 2nd RI from the company since January 2023.
•    It kept lowering its offer price since it went public. 
•    While it posted growth in its top lines, bottom line posted wild fluctuations. 
•    Considering fancy for wind power generation, well-informed investors may park moderate funds for long term. 

PREFACE:

Now, it is coming out with its 2nd RI at a price of Rs. 22.50 per share to mobilize Rs. 48.30 cr. Thus the company continued to mop up funds from the market but every time, it lowered the offer price indicating weakness in its plans.
