LONDON (ShareCast) - Indus Gas has joined a growing number of Indian energy companies listing on AIM after the oil & gas exploration and development company raised £25m through the placing of 15.24m shares at 164p.

The company’s shares opened at 200p, giving it a market capitalisation of £365m.

“The successful admission of Indus to the AIM market represents a significant step forward for the company,” said non-executive chairman Marc Holtzman.

“The placing was extremely well supported by UK institutions and we are pleased to be able to welcome a range of new and well regarded shareholders,” he added.

At the end of May, power plant operator KVK Energy announced plans to list via a placing of new shares with institutional investors, while OPG Power, which operates captive power plants (GCPPs) in India, started trading on AIM last week, having raised £65.1m through a placing of 108.42m shares at 60p each.
