Promoters, ownership & credit rating
Promoters and major shareholders include Satish Chandra Shrestha and several institutional investors. The issuer rating was recently upgraded from ICRANP‑IR B‑ to ICRANP‑IR B by ICRA Nepal — a rating that still implies relatively high credit risk.
Risks & what to consider
- The company operates in a competitive agribusiness space where commodity prices, supply chain disruptions, and margins can vary widely.
- ICRA Nepal's B rating signals a higher risk profile than investment‑grade issues — consider this when sizing your allocation.
- IPOs with reserved local or special quotas often have different subscription dynamics and allotment probabilities than open public issues.
How to apply
Applications are made via the issue manager(s) and participating banks/brokers as specified in the prospectus. Typical steps:
- Read the IPO prospectus and category eligibility (project affected/foreign‑employed/general public).
- Fill application form via bank/broker or online platform included by the issue manager.
- Pay application money (amount = number of shares × NPR 100).
- Keep proof of application and bank transaction; check allotment results on the issue manager's website and NEPSE announcements.
