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.
