In the first phase, the company issued 115,596 shares to Nepalis with valid labor approval working overseas from Mangsir 22 to 25. Following this, Reliance received approval from the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) to issue a total of 1,155,960 shares to the public. Out of this, 57,798 shares have been reserved for company employees, and the remaining 924,768 shares will be offered to the general public.

The par value per share is NPR 100, while the IPO price has been fixed at NPR 820.80 per share through the book-building process. Investors must apply for a minimum of 50 shares, requiring an investment of NPR 41,040, while the maximum application limit is 20,000 shares. The IPO will close on Poush 11, and if it is not fully subscribed by then, the closing date will be extended to Poush 21.

This IPO is being issued under the book-building method. As per the Book Building Guidelines, 2077, 770,640 shares were allocated to qualified institutional investors (QIIs) through a bidding process, where the cut-off price was determined at NPR 912 per share. After providing a 10 percent discount, the public issue price was fixed at NPR 820.80 per share.

Return Period and Credit Rating

CARE Ratings Nepal has assigned the company a CARE-NP Single A- (Issuer Rating), indicating an adequate level of safety and sufficient capacity to meet its financial obligations on time. The company’s simple payback period is estimated at 6.75 years, while the discounted payback period stands at 10.61 years.

IPO Resumes Following Court Clearance

Although SEBON had approved the IPO on Ashadh 12, 2081, the issue was temporarily halted due to legal disputes raised over valuation and issuance procedures. Reliance Spinning Mills filed a writ petition at the High Court, Patan, seeking a mandamus order. Following an interim order in favor of the company, SEBON granted permission to proceed with the IPO.
