IPO News, BSPTCL IPO: Bihar State Power Transmission Company Ltd (BSPTCL) is planning to launch an IPO very soon. With this, BSPTCL will become the first state-owned transmission company to list its shares.

BSPTCL said that it has plans to list shares on the National Stock Exchange (NE).

BSPTCL is owned by the Bihar government. The listing will allow public participation in Bihar's growth.

Bihar Energy Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh said that "we are planning to list our transmission company on the stock exchange and have issued an Expression of Interest (EoI) to onboard merchant bankers."

BSPTCL has been consistently profitable for over a decade and "we want the public to also share in this growth journey," Manoj Kumar Singh said.

BSPTCL had reported a total income of Rs 1,968 crore and a profit of Rs 286 crore in FY2025.

BSPTCL IPO size and appointment of merchant bankers will be decided later. Once the merchant bankers are appointed, Kumar Singh said, “they will guide us through the IPO process”.

The merchant bankers will help in making a decision regarding how much money should be raised via IPO, Kumar Singh added. 

BSPTCL will utilise the funds raised via IPO to strengthen the electricity transmission infrastructure.

At present, BSPTCL has an expansion plan in place wherein it will invest Rs 16,194 crore to boost its network capacity.

According to estimates, Bhar's electricity demand will exceed 13,000 MW, driven by rising commercial and industrial activity in the state.

After listing BSPTCL, the Bihar government may consider listing its other power distribution companies in the future – North Bihar Power Distribution Company Limited (NBPDCL) and South Bihar Power Distribution Company Limited (SBPDCL).
