New Delhi:

Cochin Shipyard shares made their market debut on NSE at a listing price of Rs 461 on Friday, higher by nearly 8 percent over the issue price of Rs 432.

The stock immediately got buying volumes and hit a high of Rs 528.15 in early trade, up more than 22 percent over IPO price.

The listing premium was much less than the street expectations because of weak market conditions. Otherwise the stock would have hit Rs 550 level in opening as it had seen overwhelming response from investors and the financials of the company were strong in last five years, experts feel.

Cochin Shipyard raised more than Rs 1,450 crore through its share sale offer that comprised of a fresh issue of 2.2656 crore shares and an offer for sale of 1.1328 crore shares by The President of India.

The largest public sector shipyard company will utilise fresh issue proceeds of Rs 978.74 crore for setting up of a new dry dock within the existing premises; setting up of an international ship repair facility at Cochin Port Trust area, and general corporate purposes.
