22nd March 2026, Kathmandu
The Yambaling Hydro IPO Nepal issuance has officially commenced, offering a primary investment opportunity for the residents of Sindhupalchok and Nepali migrant workers.
Yambaling Hydro IPO Nepal
Starting from Chaitra 8, 2082 (March 21, 2026), Yambaling Hydropower Limited has opened its first phase of the Initial Public Offering. This project, situated in the high-potential Jugal region, aims to mobilize domestic capital to complete its hydropower infrastructure while ensuring that local stakeholders have a direct financial stake in the resource.
IPO Size and Share Allocation
The Yambaling Hydro IPO Nepal represents 40% of the company’s total issued capital of NPR 70 crore. This equates to a total of 2.8 million ordinary shares being issued at a face value of NPR 100 per share. The current phase is specifically reserved for two priority groups:
Project-Affected Locals: A total of 700,000 shares are reserved for the residents of the Sindhupalchok district.
Foreign-Employed Nepalis: 210,000 shares are earmarked for Nepali citizens working abroad who have obtained a valid labor permit and maintain a remittance-linked bank account.
Upcoming Public Portion: The remaining shares will be issued to the general public and employees in the subsequent phase.
Geographic Eligibility for Sindhupalchok Residents
The Yambaling Hydro IPO Nepal follows a strict geographic mandate to ensure that those closest to the project site in the Jugal mountain range are prioritized.
The primary eligible applicants are the residents of Jugal Rural Municipality, Wards 1 through 7. These wards encompass the areas most directly impacted by the construction of the dam, tunnels, and powerhouse. By investing at the IPO stage, these community members can transition from being project-affected persons to project owners.
