Market regulator SEBI puts JSW Cement’s ₹4,000 crore IPO on hold, while clearing the way for SK Finance, Belstar Microfinance, and Transrail Lighting.

MUMBAI (Economy India): The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has placed the initial public offering (IPO) of JSW Cement on hold, a move that has raised questions in the market as the regulator has not disclosed the reasons behind its decision. This ₹4,000 crore IPO was expected to include a fresh issue of ₹2,000 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of another ₹2,000 crore.

JSW Cement’s Plans Stalled

JSW Cement, which filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI in August 2024, had ambitious plans for the funds raised through the IPO. The company intended to allocate ₹800 crore of the proceeds to establish a new cement unit in Nagaur, Rajasthan. The remaining funds were to be utilized for repaying outstanding corporate loans.

However, the unexpected delay from SEBI has put these plans on hold. The regulator has not provided any specific reasons for the hold, leaving the company and its investors in a state of uncertainty.

A History of Fundraising

JSW Cement’s journey towards this IPO was preceded by significant fundraising activities. In July 2021, the company secured up to ₹1,500 crore from Apollo Global Management and Synergy Metals Investment Holding. Later, in December 2021, the State Bank of India (SBI) acquired a minority stake in the company, reflecting strong investor confidence.

SEBI’s Discretion on Holds

SEBI has the authority to hold IPO observations on a case-by-case basis for 30 days, 45 days, 90 days, or even longer. This discretion allows the regulator to thoroughly examine the details of the IPO before providing any further directives.

Green Light for Three Companies

While JSW Cement’s IPO remains in limbo, SEBI has given the go-ahead to three other companies to proceed with their IPOs. SK Finance, a vehicle financier and commercial loan provider; Belstar Microfinance, the microfinance arm of Muthoot Finance; and Transrail Lighting have all received SEBI’s approval to launch their IPOs. These approvals were granted on 30 August 2024, offering these companies a clear path to enter the public markets.

Market Reactions and Future Outlook

The decision to halt JSW Cement’s IPO has left market participants speculating about the reasons behind SEBI’s move. While the regulator’s discretion is respected, the lack of transparency in such decisions can create uncertainty among investors.

Meanwhile, the approval of the three SME companies reflects SEBI’s ongoing commitment to supporting smaller enterprises in their growth journeys. As these companies prepare to enter the public market, investors will be closely watching their performance.
