NLC India Renewables Ltd (NIRL), the renewable energy subsidiary of state-owned NLC India, has appointed four investment banks as book-running lead managers for its proposed initial public offering.

The syndicate includes SBI Capital Markets and HDFC Bank, signaling the company's intent to secure broad institutional interest for the listing.

The appointment marks a key procedural step in the IPO process, allowing NIRL to begin marketing the shares to potential investors.

By engaging top-tier domestic banks, the company aims to leverage their distribution networks to ensure a successful subscription, particularly among long-term domestic institutional buyers.

This move aligns with a broader trend of Indian energy and infrastructure firms accessing public capital markets.

Recent filings by peers such as Renfra Energy India suggest a growing appetite for listing among mid-cap energy players seeking to fund expansion or raise capital amid sectoral growth.
