Companies that go IPO saying they'll acquire someone (without saying who) have to only use 25% of amount raised, plus max 10% for "General Corporate Purposes".
Will reduce IPO fund raising unless for a specific purpose.
Where a shareholder is selling in the IPO:
- If they own >20% preipo, can max offer half what they own
- if they own <20%, can max offer 1/10th of what they own
Credit rating agencies become "monitoring agency" for IPO proceeds usage. (No banks or other institutions)
Monitoring report on quarterly basis.
IPO Anchors locked for:
- 30 days for half of what they get
- 90 days for the remaining half
HNIs will see:
- 1/3rd allotment for 2 to 10 lakh rupee wala applications
- 2/3rd alloctment to >10 lakh
Oh, and similar draw-of-lots concept for HNIs too, similar to retail.
Preferential issues: Floor price is the higher of 90 or 10 days' volume weighted average price.
This is lousy because a Yes Bank would not have been able to raise at all because of a price drop. Now RBL Bank will hurt.
Any change of control beyond 5% needs both a valuation report and then, an independent director report too.
Preferential issue:
- To promoters, 20% locked in for 18 months (from 3 yrs currently) Rest locked in for 6 months (from 1 year)
- To non-promoters: Lock in reduced to 6 months (from 1 year)
Promoters can pledge any pref-issue shares if the shares are pledged against a loan taken by the company or subsidiary only.
So a promoter can't do a pref-issue and pledge against loan taken for himself. Few cos have done this in the past.
More: Stressed loans can be bought by AIFs - a new category called "Special situation funds".
Here's the Franklin-induced-rule: Even if trustees decide to "wind up" a scheme, they need to first get unitholder approval, one vote per unit within 45 days. Fund can be closed till then, but if majority don't say yes, fund has to be opened 2 days after voting results.
My analysis: IPO funding is dead out of the door. Anyhow NBFCs couldn't do the funding beyond 1 cr. due to RBI rules. With the above rules, it may become even more of a pain.
This is a reasonably big money earner for most of the newer NBFCs.

Repo unchanged. RBI sounds scared of inflation but not so much. They're gonna use VRRR to keep short term rates relatively high.
This means they will continue to be some printing. VRRRs increase, and will have longer VRRRs (28 days already could be more). If you don't understand this don't worry, it will change absolutely nothing about your life.
Given this, there is really no big need of changing the reverse repo rate.
This is a very weird market. Some of the recent IPOs doing well. Old gen stocks not so much. This doesn't augur that well really - needs a trigger to take it back up
One look at the FII data, and god, they are selling like crazy, you would think. But THEY ARE NOT.
FPI data from NSDL (This is the accurate source, not the exchanges) shows that FIIs have put in a whopping 27,000 cr. into IPOs, while taking money out of other stocks.
In fact FII investments in total have been very very high in 2021 with over 95,000 cr. invested. Biggest year for Debt since 2017.
The PMC rescue: what it means is that rbi insurance pays up to 5l for principal plus interest only till 31 March 2021. If you have more than that you get money in pieces over 10 years but no further interest.
That is retail. All corporates who have money in it will get preference shares at 1% dividend per year with 80% of their money.
The remaining 20% will become equity warrants but to convert to equity they get to do it at the lower end of price band whenever bank goes ipo.
This is positive for the bank and for the acquirers. Most liabilities will be covered by the rbi insurance and share conversion of corporate deposits. Most loans are probably gone, but what loans remain will easily pay for the remaining liabilities over 10years.
Moving out of coal entirely is silly for india right now. We are of course going nuclear for power but it's the rich developed countries that slow us down. We'll move when economics dictate it
Electric 2 and 3 wheelers will rock in India, not because they are environmentally better, but because, in a few years, they will be substantially cheaper.
For power, it will be about storage, localization and a move to DC, IMHO, for residential.
Run Fridge or heater on LPG/PNG and nearly all other devices (even Aircons with VFDs) can run on DC - it'll be cheaper and will reduce use of grid power. Such a thing is a disaster for the large investments in grids and in power plants, but that's okay.
No stock stuff please :) 2022 wise I'll still own a car and use Ola/Uber when I don't feel like driving! Thinking about weight reduction is like an SIP, it happens every month :)
