The company had initially issued 69,11,670 units of IPO shares at a price of Rs. 435 per unit (including a premium of Rs. 335) to the general public on Jestha 32, 2079.

    However, the IPO faced a temporary setback when the issue was paused due to investors applying for shares without having sufficient funds. After conducting a thorough investigation, the company took transparent and corrective measures. As a result, Ghorahi Cement Industry Limited has decided to re-issue the 69,11,670 units of IPO shares to the general public from the 22nd to the 25th of Ashad, 2080.

    The company has a total issued capital of Rs. 3.97 Arba, out of which 20% (79,43,801 unit shares) was set aside for the public, including locals, Nepalese citizens working abroad, and the general public. Additionally, 1% (397,190 unit shares) were issued to project-affected locals of Dang District, and 7,54,661 unit shares were issued to Nepalese citizens working abroad starting from 18th Baisakh.

    Out of the shares issued to project-affected locals, only 77,290 shares were allotted to valid applicants. The public issue for Nepalese migrant workers was undersubscribed by 19.65% or 148,311 units. Consequently, the unsubscribed shares were added to the shares reserved for the general public.
