Nepal’s capital market has witnessed renewed momentum in initial public offerings, with 10 companies already listing shares since Poush and three more receiving regulatory approval. In FY 2081/82, a total of 19 companies raised Rs 8.07 billion through IPOs. So far in FY 2082/83, 12 approved companies have issued shares, including Super Khudi and Ridgeline Hydropower, which initially targeted locals and migrant workers. Pending IPOs include Snowb Reverse Hydropower, Kalinchok Hydropower and Apollo Hydropower. After a year-long slowdown due to regulatory scrutiny, approvals have resumed, though experts continue to call for faster processing.
