INTRODUCTION
This report, as the title “Public issue” suggests, is an attempt to bring forth the
importance of the process of Issue of an Initial Public Offer (IPO).
When a Company issues an IPO, it means it is going public. The issue of an IPO introduces a great degree of transparency in a Company’s operations. All the relevant and updated information pertaining to the company is laid down before the investors so that they may make an investment decision. Again, there are set procedures, rules, regulations and laws to be followed in laying down this information before the investors. A document called the ‘Prospectus’ must be prepared. The Prospectus captures all the necessary information that is to be made available to the investors. Apart from the Prospectus, there are various other company documents that need to be verified and summarized in order to present them before the investors.
Many Intermediaries are appointed for the purpose of managing the public
issue of an IPO of a company. They play a vital role by co-ordinating the
activities of the company, the Regulatory Bodies and Investors. The
following are the responsibilities:
Company, to manage the entire process of issue of its IPO, and to
present the Company’s information before the investors in a concise
and unambiguous form.
Investors, to give them all the relevant and updated information on the
Company, while at the same time protecting their interests
Regulatory Bodies such as the Securities and Exchange Board of
India, to adhere to all secretarial and legal work.
In order to fulfill all their responsibilities well, they must work
diligently. The process through which they verify and summarize the
Company’s information is thus called the process of Due Diligence.
-1-
These Intermediaries must issue “Due Diligence Certificates” at various
points during the issue process, saying that the company documents have
all been verified and are correct.
This report will take the reader through the entire process of the
Issue of an IPO and will lay special emphasis on the dynamic role played
by them.
This report aims at highlighting the key points about an IPO issue by
separating the concrete points regarding an issue from the frills, and
focusing on these concrete points.

secondary sources.

experience, observations and through newspapers.
Books related to Financial Management.

-5-
Limitations of the project
Although Initial Public Offers are issued by many companies, this study is confined to a few companies only. These are companies that fall within limited company.
This study will be limited to the information willingly shared by the
authorities and of RSL.
To understand the overall India IPO market, the period of 45 days is not enough, so finding cannot be generalized for all times.
The data followed in project is partly based on Secondary information and it can’t be held true as 100% correct.
The scope of the study is very vast. It is very difficult to cover and focus on all the areas. Therefore an attempt is made to cover as much as possible.

Review of Literature
IPO – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING is the hottest topic in the current industry, mainly because of India being a developing country and lot of growth in various sectors which leads a country to ultimate success. And when we talk about country’s growth which is dependent on the kind of work and how much importance to which sector is given. And when we say or talk about industries growth which leads the economy of country has to be balanced and given proper finance so as to reach the levels to fulfill the needs of the society. And industries which have massive outflow of work and a big portfolio then its very difficult for any company to work with limited finance and this is where IPO plays an important role.
This report talks about how IPO helps in raising fund for the companies going public, what are its pros and cons, and also it gives us detailed idea why companies go public. How and what are the steps taken by the companies before going for any IPO and also the role of (SEBI) Securities and Exchange Board of India the BSE and NSE , what are primary and secondary markets and also the important terms related to IPO. It gives us idea of how IPO is driven in the market and what are various factors taken into consideration before going for an IPO. And it also tells us how we can more or less judge a good IPO.
IPO has been one of the most important generators of funds for the small companies making them big and given a new vision in past and it is still continuing its work and also for many coming years.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
INDIAN IPO MARKET
HISTORY
The term initial public offering (IPO) slipped into everyday speech during the tech bull market of the late 1990s. Back then, it seemed you couldn't go a day without hearing about a dozen new dotcom millionaires in Silicon Valley who were cashing in on their latest IPO. The phenomenon spawned the term siliconaire, which described the dotcom entrepreneurs in their early 20s and 30s who suddenly found themselves living large on the proceeds from their internet companies' IPOs.
INVESTORS are still wary of equities in the 1990s, to blame are the excesses in the primary market in the 1990s. Of the thousands of IPOs (initial public offerings) and offers for sale made between 1994 and 1996, less than a hundred were from companies with track record. Even in this shortlist, only a few managed to complete planned projects and deliver value to investors. The rest just frittered the money away.
The primary market of the mid-1990s was merely used as a channel to move public funds into private hands. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) was late to wake up to the excesses, but when it did, it improved the disclosure framework, tightened the prerequisites for an IPO, and towards the end of the decade, introduced book-building.

CURRENT POSITION OF INDIAN IPO MARKET
India is being lauded as the savior of the ailing global IPO market with $3.3 billion worth of proceeds from eight deals. This makes India the largest IPO market in the world so far this year.
India accounts for 49.1% of global IPO proceeds at the moment, compared to just 3.7% same time last year. Significant, given that global IPOs declined 36.1% over the last one year.
It was the real estate sector which took the maximum advantage of the bullish stock market trends in 2007. According to the industry body Assocham, real estate players raised the maximum amount of funds from the capital market through IPOs last year. Realty firms picked up around 42.7% of the total funds generated through IPOs. Of the Rs.34,119 crore raised in the primary market in the period starting from January 1, 2007 to mid-December, about Rs.14,591 crore was raised by the realty firms.
Financial Year Amount raised through IPO2002-03 Rs 1,039 crore2003-04 Rs 17,807 crore2004-05 Rs 21,432 crore2005-06 Rs 23,676 crore2006-07 Rs 24,994 crore2007-08 Rs 52,253 crore
Secondary markets out performed primary markets in 2009, but we expect 2010 will be exciting performance for both primary and secondary markets.With more than 60 firms already in process for approval form SEBI to raise approximate INR 400B, we expect the number of draft offer document filed with SEBI will match the levels of 2007
The divestment programme is expected to gain the momentum in 2010, with government expecting to raise INR 500 B by end of 2010.
-9-
2010 will see the IPOs of BSNL and RITES and FPO of SAIL.With the handy increase in liquidity in market and stabilization in secondary markets, the companies will raise money with ease in early in 2010.
PRIMARY MARKET AND SECONDARY MARKET
When shares are bought in an IPO it is termed primary market. The primary market does not involve the stock exchanges. A company that plans an IPO contacts an investment banker who will in turn called on securities dealers to help sell the new stock issue.
This process of selling the new stock issues to prospective investors in the primary market is called underwriting.
When an investor buys shares from another investor at an agreed prevailing market price, it is called as buying from the secondary market.
The secondary market involves the stock exchanges and it is regulated by a regulatory authority. In India, the secondary and primary markets are governed by the Security and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

AN OVERVIEW OF INITIAL PUBLIC OFFER
An IPO or an Initial Public Offer is a company's first sale of
equity shares to the general public. Shares offered in an IPO are often, but not
always, those of newly setup companies seeking outside equity capital and a
public market for their shares.
An Initial Public Offering (IPO) can be a good investment avenue for
equity investors. While the IPO market is dry these days, a fresh crop is
expected soon. It is important to understand IPO’s and decide whether to invest
in them or not.
Why does a company go for an IPO
Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when an unlisted company makes either a fresh
issue of securities or an offer for sale of its existing securities or both for the
first time to the public. This paves way for listing and trading of the issuer’s
securities.
A company's first sale of stock to the public. Securities offered in an IPO are
often, but not always, those of young, small companies seeking outside equity
capital and a public market for their stock. Investors purchasing stock in IPOs
generally must be prepared to accept very large risks for the possibility of large
gains. IPO's by investment companies (closed end funds) usually contain
underwriting fees which represent a load to buyers.
The basis purpose of an IPO is to facilitate transfer of resources from savers to
entrepreneurs seeking to establish new enterprise or to diversify/expand existing
ones. -25-
Such facilities are of crucial importance in the context of the dichotonomy of
funds available for capital uses form those in whose hands they accumulate, and
those by whom they are applied for capital uses from those in whose hands they
accumulate, and those by whom they are applied to productive uses.
However it should not be conceived as exclusively serving
the purpose of raising finance for new capital expenditure. Infect the
organization and facilities of the market are also utilized for selling concerns to
the public as going concerns through the conversion of existing proprietary
enterprises or private companies in to public companies
Corporate may raise capital in the primary market by way of an initial public
offer, rights issue or private placement. An Initial Public Offer (IPO) is the
selling of securities to the public in the primary market. This Initial Public
Offering can be made through the fixed price method, book building method or
a combination of both.
In case the issuer chooses to issue securities through the book building route
then as per SEBI guidelines, an issuer company can issue securities in the
following manner:
a) 100% of the net offer to the public through the book building route.
b) 75% of the net offer to the public through the book building process
c) 25% through the fixed price portion.
-26-
PROCESS OF AN IPO
The Process:
The Issuer who is planning an IPO nominates a lead merchant banker as a
'book runner'.
The Issuer specifies the number of securities to be issued and the price
band for orders.
The Issuer also appoints syndicate members with whom orders can be
placed by the investors.
Investors place their order with a syndicate member who inputs the
orders into the 'electronic book'. This process is called 'bidding' and is
similar to open auction.
A Book should remain open for a minimum of 5 days.
Bids cannot be entered less than the floor price.
Bids can be revised by the bidder before the issue closes.
On the close of the book building period the 'book runner evaluates the
bids on the basis of the evaluation criteria which may include -
Price Aggression
Investor quality
Earliness of bids, etc.
-27-
The book runner and the company conclude the final price at which it is
willing to issue the stock and allocation of securities.
Generally, the number of shares are fixed, the issue size gets frozen based
on the price per share discovered through the book building process.
Allocation of securities is made to the successful bidders.
Book Building is a good concept and represents a capital market which is
in the process of maturing.
How does the company fix the price band?
The red herring prospectus may contain either the floor price for the securities
or a price band within which the investors can bid. The spread between the floor
and the cap of the price band shall not be more than 20%. In other words, it
means that the cap should not be more than 120% of the floor price. The price
band can have a revision and such a revision in the price band shall be widely
disseminated by informing the stock exchanges, by issuing press release and
also indicating the change on the relevant website and the terminals of the
syndicate members. In case the price band is revised, the bidding period shall be
extended for a further period of three days, subject to the total bidding period
not exceeding thirteen days
Pricing is critical and the most important process in IPO. Pricing involves lot of
research and calculations. Pricing is done in such a way that investors are
benefited and also the company’s objective is achieved that is its aim for an IPO
is achieved. Thus, pricing is the most important factor in IPO process generally
there are two methods of IPO pricing .-

Book building Process
PROCEDURE
The sale (that is, the allocation and pricing) of shares in an IPO may take
several forms. Common methods include:
Dutch auction
Firm commitment
Best efforts
Bought deal
Self Distribution of Stock
A large IPO is usually underwritten by a "syndicate" of investment banks led by
one or more major investment banks (lead underwriter). Upon selling the
shares, the underwriters keep a commission based on a percentage of the value
of the shares sold. Usually, the lead underwriters, i.e. the underwriters selling
the largest proportions of the IPO, take the highest commissions—up to 8% in
some cases.
Multinational IPOs may have as many as three syndicates to deal with differing
legal requirements in both the issuer's domestic market and other regions. For
example, an issuer based in the E.U. may be represented by the main selling
syndicate in its domestic market, Europe, in addition to separate syndicates or
selling groups for US/Canada and for Asia. Usually, the lead underwriter in the
main selling group is also the lead bank in the other selling groups.
Because of the wide array of legal requirements, IPOs typically involve one or
more law firms with major practices in securities law, such as the Magic Circle
firms of London and the white shoe firms of New York City. -29-
Usually, the offering will include the issuance of new shares, intended to
raise new capital, as well the secondary sale of existing shares. However,
certain regulatory restrictions and restrictions imposed by the lead underwriter
are often placed on the sale of existing shares.
Public offerings are primarily sold to institutional investors, but some shares are
also allocated to the underwriters' retail investors. A broker selling shares of a
public offering to his clients is paid through a sales credit instead of a
commission. The client pays no commission to purchase the shares of a public
offering; the purchase price simply includes the built-in sales credit.
Fixed Pricing
An issuer company is allowed to freely price the issue. The basis of issue price
is disclosed in the offer document where the issuer discloses in detail about the
qualitative and quantitative factors justifying the issue price. Fixed price does
not allow an opportunity to the issuer or the merchant banker to do any
discretionary allotment, which is possible only in a book building issue. So
there is one factor that we should remember which drives book building issue
more.
Book building Process
Book building Process as Mentioned in the SEBI
Book Building is basically a capital issuance process used in Initial Public Offer
(IPO) which aids price and demand discovery. It is a process used for marketing
a public offer of equity shares of a company. It is a mechanism where, during
the period for which the book for the IPO is open, bids are collected from
investors at various prices, which are above or equal to the floor price. The
process aims at tapping both wholesale and retail investors. -30-
The offer/issue price is then determined after the bid closing date based on
certain evaluation criteria.
Guidelines for Book Building
Rules governing book building is covered in Chapter XI of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (Disclosure and Investor Protection) Guidelines 2000.
Difference between shares offered through book building and offer of shares
through normal public issue:

Interpretation
Outof the 11 IPOs that have not received investment from Anchor investors, about 6 IPOs are trading above the issue price and 5 IPOs are trading below the issue price. The total amount that is mobilized by such IPOs that have not received investment from Anchor investors is about Rs. 9,6131 Crores. And, the current value of such IPOs is increased to about Rs. 9,6900 Crores, indicating a Mark-to-Market gain of about Rs. 769 Crores, indicating current Mark-to Market gain of +0.81%.
On an aggregate basis, total amount that is mobilized by 16 IPOs is about Rs. 1,56,548 Crores. And, the current value of such IPOs is decreased to Rs. 1,53,230 Crores, indicating a Mark-to-Market loss of Rs. 3,318 Crores, indicating current Mark-to-Market loss of 3.71%. In total, of the 16 IPOs, about 8 IPOs are in profit and 8 IPOs are in loss.
Even though the IPO market has tried to stage a comeback during 2009, the listing performances of several high profile companies has been disappointing, raising the concerns about the recovery of the primary market. Further, even the IPOs which could able to attract the anchor investors interest, couldn't able to fare well. In fact, the IPOs which have received the investment from Anchor Investors have underperformed in comparison to the IPOs which have not received the investment from Anchor Investors.

Conclusion

Major Findings
An IPO can be a risky investment. For the individual investor, it is
tough to predict what the stock or shares will do on its initial day
of trading and in the near future since there is often little historical
data with which to analyze the company.
IPO’s are playing major role in the field of investment.
It can be observed that out of 16 companies, only 5 companies
have given positive returns on the date of listing.
Out of 16 companies, 11 IPOs have not received investment from
Anchor Investors.
As per sectors wise comparison out of 7 areas only 3 sector
(Energy & power, Industrial, and Telecom, Media & Technology)
gives better response.
As per sector wise comparison in year 2008 and 2009 out of 7
areas only 3 sectors (Education, energy & power and TMT) give
positive return.
In IPO process Intermediary (SEBI, NSE, BSE) play a vital role in
issue of IPO book building.
-66-
Conclusion
IPO is used by a company to raise its funds. The extra amount obtained from public may be invested in the development o f the company, although it costs a little to a company but it gives a way to get more money for long term investments.
The issue of an IPO by a Company involves a number of stages, each calling for a great deal of verification. The relevant and updated information on the Company has to be captured precisely in the Prospectus. The decision by the Investors on whether to invest in a Company is influenced significantly by the information contained in the Prospectus. The Regulatory Bodies are also involved and there are set procedures that must be followed. Legal compliance has to be maintained. Moreover, the Company’s potential should not be understated in or lost in the Prospectus because of the weight of such rules, regulations and formalities.
.In this project all the aspects of IPO have been studied like IPO norms, IPO
process and its regulatory aspect, Pricing Process, Factors and financial
parameters to watch before investing in an IPO.
Thus the objective of studying is achieved.
-67-
SUGGESTIONS
The investment in IPO can prove too risky because the investor does not know anything about the company because it is listed first time in the market so its performance cannot be measure.
On the other hand it can be said that the higher the risk higher the returns earned. So we can say that the though risky if investment is done then it can give higher returns as well.
Primary market is more volatile than the secondary market because all the companies are listed for the first time in the market so nothing can be said about its performance.
If higher risk is taken, it is always rewarded with the higher returns. So higher the risk the more the returns rewarded for it.
“We can fairly predict the future, but can’t make it happen as it is.”

The response to Maruti IPO was overwhelming within the subscription period, which led to an over-subscription of the public offerings of Maruti by more than ten times.
The government decided to shell out 85 percent shares of IPO to the noninstitutional investors and 15 percent shares to the non-institutional high networth individuals.

AftermarketTrading in the IPO subsequent to its offering is called the aftermarket.
Aftermarket Orders Underwriters look favorably on investors who buy IPOs in the days after the IPO first goes public. While underwriters cannot solicit aftermarket orders, some expect investors to purchase two or three times their IPO allocation in the aftermarket.
BBoard of DirectorsThe composition of the Board of Directors is particularly critical for an IPO. Typically, a board is composed of inside and outside directors.
Broken IPOsIf an IPO trades below its IPO price in the aftermarket, it is said to be a broken IPO.
