Expert View "Aegis Vopak Terminals listed at a discount due to muted investor enthusiasm despite strong institutional backing. With the retail and HNI segments under-subscribed, concerns around valuation were evident. Long-term investors may wait for further consolidation before entering, given the company's robust expansion outlook," said Satish Chandra Aluri of Lemonn Markets Desk. Live Events On The Leela Hotels, Aluri added, 'Despite the strength of its brand and institutional interest, retail and HNI participation remained weak. The flat grey market premium had already signaled a subdued listing. Valuation concerns continue to weigh on investor sentiment.'

The company operates LPG and liquid storage terminals at five major Indian ports—Haldia, Kochi, Mangalore, Pipavav, and Kandla—with a total capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters for liquids and 70,800 MT for LPG. The Leela Hotels IPO Details The Leela Hotels IPO comprised a fresh issue worth Rs 2,500 crore and an offer for sale of Rs 1,000 crore. The issue was subscribed 2.62 times overall, with QIBs bidding 4.34 times their allotment. Retail and HNI participation lagged at 0.70 and 0.32 times, respectively.

Sebi mulls mandatory demat account for existing shareholders, promoters ahead of IPOs
New Delhi, Markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday proposed mandating select shareholders, including directors, key managerial personnel and current employees, to hold shares in demat form before filing an initial public offering (IPO) document. These measures, if implemented, will help eliminate inefficiencies and risks associated with physical share certificates, including loss, theft, forgery, and delays in transfer and settlement. ADVERTISEMENT Presently, ICDR regulations mandate that all specified securities held by promoters must be in dematerialised form before the filing of the offer document. "In spite of several regulatory mandates and facilitation mechanisms being in place, there remains a significant volume of holding of physical shares even among critical pre-IPO shareholders, such as directors, Key Managerial Personnel (KMPs), senior management, selling shareholders, and even Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs). This leaves a regulatory gap that allows a good volume of physical shares to continue existing post-listing," Sebi said in its consultation paper. To address the concerns, Sebi proposed that the existing regulatory requirement be expanded. An issuer making an IPO will have to ensure that all its specified securities held by the promoter group, selling shareholders, directors, key managerial personnel, senior management, Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), domestic current employees and shareholders, who have special rights are in dematerialised form prior to the filing of the offer document, Sebi suggested. Additionally, it has been suggested that registered stock brokers, non-systemically important non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), and any other regulated entities that hold specified securities will be required to have such holding in dematerialised form before the filing of the offer document. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has sought public comments on the proposal till May 20. (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel)
