Mumbai: Reliance Power on Friday announced it had allotted shares to 4.2 million investors, but over 450,000 retail investors who bid for less than 225 shares got none.
Following its record breaking initial public offer (IPO), Reliance Power, part of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, completed the allotment of shares across the country and overseas.

Post allotment, Reliance Power now has approximately 4.2 million shareholders. The equity shares offered through this IPO will be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) shortly.
According to a Reliance Power announcement, the allotment and refund exercise post closure of the IPO has been carried out in a record time of 10 working days, considering it was by far the largest in the history of Indian capital market.
