Qualified Institutional Placements

QIP is a capital raising tool, primarily used in


India whereby a listed company can issue equity
shares, fully and partly convertible debentures or
any securities other than warrants which are
convertible to equity shares to a Qualified
Institutional Buyer.
Apart from preferential allotment, this is the only
other speedy method of private placement
whereby a listed company can issue shares or
convertible securities to a select group of
persons.
QIP scores over other methods because the
issuing firm does not have to undergo elaborate
procedural requirements to raise this capital.
