Jana SFB, Rashi Peripherals, Capital SFB IPOs to open today; ₹1,693 cr at stake
This week is going to be action-packed for investors who are looking to park their money in IPOs as three mainboard companies will launch their public offer on February 7. Two small finance banks (SFBs) — Capital and Jana – as well as Rashi Peripherals, a national distribution partner for global technology brands in India, will keep the primary market busy with their combined public offering of ₹1,693 crore. Adding to it, the ₹920-crore IPO of Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels will close on February 7, 2024.
While Rashi Peripherals looks to raise ₹600 crore via IPO route, Jana Small Finance Bank and Capital Small Finance Bank are eying to garner ₹570 crore and ₹523 crore, respectively, through the primary market. The IPO of Rashi Peripherals is entirely a fresh issue of equity shares with no offer for sale (OFS) component, while issues of Capital and Jana SFBs are combination of fresh equities and share sales by existing shareholders.
Here’s all you need to know about IPOs before they open for subscription:

The company has reserved half of the issue for qualified institutional buyers (QIB), up to 35% for retail investors, and the remaining 15% for non institutional investors (NII).
The bank plans to use capital raised from the fresh issue to augment its Tier 1 capital base to meet future capital requirements. A part of the fund will be also used towards meeting the expenses related to the offer.
A day ahead of the IPO, the SFB has raised ₹167 crore from anchor investors by allocating 40,32,588 equity shares at the price of ₹414 per equity share.
