Appolo Hydropower Limited has officially opened its Initial Public Offering (IPO) for the general public from today, April 9, 2026, giving retail investors across Nepal a fresh opportunity to invest in the country’s growing hydropower sector.

The company is issuing shares at a face value of Rs 100 per unit as part of its approved public issue plan. According to the approved prospectus listed by the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON), this public offering comes after the successful completion of the first phase allocated to project-affected locals and Nepalis working abroad.

Appolo Hydropower had previously received approval to issue 1.41 million ordinary shares, representing 30 percent of its issued capital of Rs 57 crore. Out of this, 470,000 shares were reserved for local residents, while 94,000 shares were allocated to Nepali citizens employed abroad in the earlier phase.

With those reserved quotas now completed, the company has moved into the second phase for nationwide public subscription, allowing all eligible Nepali investors to apply through Mero Share and C-ASBA approved banks and financial institutions. Investors can apply for a minimum of 10 shares, while the upper limit will be as specified in the prospectus and participating banks.
