Retail investors and employees are offered a 5% discount on the discovered price.

Details of the issue:

Issue Price: Rs. 85 - Rs. 90 Per Equity Share

Power Grid owns and operates more than 90% of India’s inter-state and inter regional electric power transmission system and the company reported revenue of Rs. 7,559 crore and PAT of Rs. 2,280 crore for H1FY14, resulting in EPS of Rs. 4.91 on an equity of Rs. 4,630 crore. The company had earlier came out with a similar FPO in 2010 at a price of Rs.90 and the returns from that FPO were mediocre. Similarly, the current FPO is done mainly to meet the disinvestment targets and there is not much for investors or even traders to flip, unless the issue is priced at Rs.85. Considering fundamentals and the past performances of the issue,  investors can skip this issue.
