New Delhi: Solar module manufacturer Vikram Solar on Wednesday announced a price band of Rs 315-332 per share for its upcoming Rs 2,079-crore initial public offering (IPO). The Kolkata-headquartered company said its maiden public issue will open for subscription on August 19 and close on August 21.

The IPO will comprise a fresh equity issue worth up to Rs 1,500 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of more than 1.74 crore shares by its promoters, valued at around Rs 579.37 crore at the upper end of the price band. Together, this will take the total issue size to Rs 2,079.37 crore.

Proceeds to fund subsidiary’s projects

From the fresh issue proceeds, Vikram Solar plans to allocate funds towards capital expenditure for investment in its wholly owned subsidiary, VSL Green Power Private Ltd, covering both Phase I and Phase II of the project.

Manufacturing growth and capacity

Founded in 2009, Vikram Solar began manufacturing with an installed solar PV module capacity of 12 MW, which has since expanded to 4.50 GW as of the present date. According to a CRISIL report, it is among the largest non-captive manufacturers on the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy’s approved list of module manufacturers, with 2.85 GW listed under the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) as of June 2025.
