Sterling IPO has been scaled down in size, just like Affle India. It is not a bad sign and Pallonji has been a respected group but renewable energy has never made money for investors. Take Suzlon and Indosolar for example, both are penny stocks now.
In SME, Waa SOlar issued shares at 161 but has now come down to 30s. Bright solar issued at 36 and now just 10. These are complete disasters.
STAY AWAY FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENTS
