Jinko Solar Down more than 20% since listing ; I told you so
May 20, 2010Why is Solar Thermal (CSP) Industry seeing so many Acquisitions
May 21, 2010India has seen a raft of low quality offerings in the the recent months. However investors should not lose all hope as there has been some proposed filings for decent good quality companies as well.India has not seen a big sized Green IPO since Suzlon,however a Green Energy Utility Orient Green Power Ltd (OGPL) plans to do an IPO for setting up renewable energy plants .Close on the heels of Orient comes the news of another Green IPO , this time a small time Electric Vehicle maker Kabirdass Motors.India has generally lagged behind the US,Japanese and Chinese companies which are making great strides in the PHEV field despite becoming a small car Design and Manufacturing hub due to its huge base of quality low cost engineers.While I can’t give a definite opinion on the IPO without looking at the prospectus as of now , what I liked about the company was its focus on making spare parts for electric scooters.These scooters are a huge hit in China and have rarely seen them in India.
