Sterlite Power postpones IPO plans due to market volatility
Sterlite Power on Friday blazoned postponing its Rs1,250 crore – IPO in view of current volatility in the stock request. In August 2021, the company had filed the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with requests controller Sebi. The original Public Offer (IPO) was to be worth Rs1,250 crore.
“Sterlite Power, a leading private sector power transmission structure inventor and results provider, blazoned the holdback of their plans to go public through an IPO,” it said in a statement. Pratik Agarwal, Managing Director of Sterlite Power, said that given the volatility in the current requests and the limited window available under the presently filed DRHP, it has been decided to withdraw the DRHP.
“Still, it remains observant of the request and will consider re-filing the DRHP in the future. In the meantime, we’re in discussion with large private capital institutions to grow the business,” he said. Sterlite Power has a portfolio of 30 systems covering roughly 14,602 circuit kilometres of transmission lines. It has systems in India and Brazil.
It also has a portfolio of high- performance power operators, Extra High Voltage (EHV) lines and Optical Ground Cables (OPGW), among others. The company was the guarantor of IndiGrid, the country’s first power sector InvIT.

Core Purpose , Value & Strategy
“Empowering humanity by addressing the toughest challenges of energy delivery.”
Every one counts,Every person, every thought, every opinion deserves a chance to be heard. No matter who you are or where you are from – you are respected.
– We listen before we respond or react.
– We may disagree but we do so with humility and respect for another’s opinion
Our strategy is focused on addressing complex challenges in the sector by tackling the key constraints of time, space and capital. The Government’s vision of 24×7 energy access to all, coupled with the rapid development of renewable generation capacity, requires transmission projects to be commissioned in a fraction of the conventional time frame, creating a time constraint. Urbanization, environment regulations and Right of Way (ROW) issues create a space constraint for power transmission projects. The scale of investment required to build transmission capacity to meet the country’s power needs is significant, creating a capital constraint.
