    The IPO allotment of Chirkhwa Hydro Power Limited has been successfully concluded at the offices of the issue manager, RBB Merchant Banking Limited in Kathmandu.

    Chirkhwa Hydro Power Limited had initially issued 8,59,300 unit IPO shares at a par value of Rs 100 for the general public from the 23rd to the 26th of Ashwin, 2080. Previously, the company had allocated 4,00,000 unit shares, equivalent to 10% of the issued capital, to project-affected locals in the Bhojpur District. However, only 2,04,700 units were allotted to valid applicants, leaving 1,95,300 unsubscribed units. These unsubscribed shares have now been combined with the 8,00,000 units (20% of the issued capital reserved for the general public), resulting in a total of 9,95,300 units available for the general public.

    Out of the 9,95,300 units, 80,000 units were already issued and allotted to Nepalese citizens working abroad, 40,000 units were designated for mutual funds, and 16,000 units were set aside for company employees. The remaining 8,59,300 units were open for the general public.

Additionally, 40,000 units were allotted to mutual funds, and 16,000 units were designated for company employees.

    Notably, a total of 2,381 applicants who had applied for 32,700 units were disqualified. The IPO results are available through various channels, including CDSC IPO Result, MeroShare, and RBB Merchant Banking Limited.

    Chirkhwa Hydropower Limited, established in January 2009, is actively engaged in the development of a 4.7 MW Upper Chirkhwa Khola Hydropower Project in the Bhojpur district, Province-1 of Nepal.

    NRB Governor Discusses Power Export and Hydropower Sector Development with IPPAN


    Maha Prasad Adhikari, the Governor of the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), has emphasized that Nepal’s trade deficit could be effectively addressed if the country could export power worth Rs 130 billion annually. In a meeting with the office-bearers of the Independent Power Producers’ Association, Nepal (IPPAN), Governor Adhikari highlighted the potential of power export as a means to reduce the trade deficit.

    Governor Adhikari pledged that the Nepal Rastra Bank is committed to facilitating the development of the hydropower sector in the country. During the meeting, IPPAN President Ganesh Karki proposed a requirement for banks and financial institutions to allocate 20% of their total investments to the energy sector. Governor Adhikari responded by expressing confidence in banks’ ability to invest, even if Nepal were to generate 20,000 megawatts of electricity in the next decade.

    IPPAN, however, stated that they require around Rs 555 billion within five years to develop projects for generating approximately 3,700 megawatts of power. In a 10-year timeframe, this requirement increases to about Rs 2,055 billion, assuming power export agreements with India are considered. The figure rises to over Rs 3,750 billion if an additional 25,000 megawatts of electricity, as per the Energy Decade declaration, were to be produced.

    IPPAN requested that the NRB’s loan provision, which currently allows projects producing over 200 megawatts to receive loans with just a 1% addition to the base interest rate, be extended to all hydropower projects. They also highlighted banks’ reluctance to invest further in hydropower due to NRB directives, which prevent the distribution of interest income during the construction phase as dividends.

    Furthermore, IPPAN called for the continued sharing of bonuses generated during the construction phase and urged the government to facilitate the introduction of new financial instruments like green bonds, climate bonds, or sovereign bonds from international markets. They sought the NRB’s support for refinancing in clean energy due to high interest rates imposed by financial institutions in the energy sector.

    In response, the NRB governor acknowledged that matters related to bonds fall under the Finance Ministry’s jurisdiction but expressed the central government’s willingness to facilitate such initiatives. IPPAN also urged the NRB to introduce provisions allowing banks and financial institutions to invest in energy production as capital and requested eased rules and provisions related to investment, bonuses, and withdrawal of investments for international investors to achieve their ambitious goal of generating 25,000 megawatts of electricity and importing 15,000 megawatts in the next decade.

    The IPPAN delegation included Vice President Mohan Kumar Dangi and former President Shailendra Guragain, among others, while the NRB meeting included Deputy Governor Bam Bahadur Mishra, executive directors Dr. Gunakar Bhatta, and Dev Kumar Dhakal.
