Nepal Infrastructures Investment Fund Limited (NIIFL) has unveiled an ambitious Initial Public Offering (IPO) worth Rs. 3 billion, marking a bold step toward reshaping the nation’s infrastructure landscape. By offering 30,00,000 ordinary shares at a face value of Rs. 100 each, NIIFL is not just raising capital, it is opening the doors for the public to become active stakeholders in Nepal’s growth journey. This IPO represents a rare opportunity for everyday citizens to invest directly in projects that will shape the country’s future, from clean energy and transportation to agriculture and digital innovation.
The appointment of Laxmi Sunrise Capital Limited as the issue and sales manager ensures the offering will be managed with precision and transparency. The formal agreement, signed by NIIFL Chairperson Dr. Manish Thapa and Laxmi Sunrise CEO Mr. Bijay Lal Shrestha, brings together seasoned expertise in infrastructure finance and capital markets. This collaboration promises a well-executed IPO process that meets both regulatory standards and investor expectations.
NIIFL’s vision extends far beyond financial returns. Its investment strategy focuses on sectors with transformative potential, such as renewable energy, electric mobility, hydropower, information technology, and hospitality. With its portfolio already active in these high-impact areas, NIIFL positions itself as a key driver of sustainable development. Managed by the Global Equity Fund, Nepal’s first SEBON-licensed private equity and venture capital fund manager, the company is backed by strong institutional investors like Himalayan Life Insurance and Nepal Reinsurance, along with business leaders Rajendra Khetan and Basant Chaudhary.
What makes this IPO truly significant is its democratic approach. Infrastructure development, once limited to government or large institutions, is now being opened to the public. Through this offering, NIIFL invites citizens not just to invest in financial returns, but to invest in Nepal itself. This blend of visionary leadership, institutional backing, and public participation sets a new benchmark for development finance in the country.
