In what could be termed as a misuse
of name as promoter entity by a company doing an initial public offering (IPO),
has come to the fore. Metering solutions, switchgears, lighting equipment and
wires and cables maker HPL Electric & Power Ltd has just made an IPO.
However, electrical goods maker Havells India Ltd had issued a caution notice
about usage of ‘Havells’ brand name, by HPL Electric & Power, especially as
the name of promoter companies. The Total Investment & Insurance

Havells, in an advertisement,
clarifies that it is not associated or related with the two companies, Havell's
Pvt Ltd and Havells Electronics Pvt Ltd, which are shown as promoters of HPL
Electric & Power in the company’s IPO prospectus. "In view of the
liberty granted by the Delhi High Court to Havells India in the suite number
CS(OS) No.164 filed by Havells India against inter alia HPL Electric &
Power, we hereby clearly state that we, as 'Havells India Ltd, our promoters
and members of our promoter group are in no way connected and/or associated
with HPL Electric & Power, Havell's Pvt Ltd and Havells Electronics Pvt
