Commenting on the IPO, Arvind Gupta, Chief Executive of OPG, said:
“OPG has been delighted with the strong response from the UK investment community to our business which addresses the significant power deficit issues in India. The funds raised gives OPG the ability to finance the building of a further four power stations, increasing our power output from the existing 19MW to over 440MW in around two and half years."
