SEMBCORP, which inaugurated its new US$1 billion independent water and power project (IWPP) in Salalah, Oman, last month, is preparing for an initial public offering of the IWPP's JV company on the Muscat Securities Market.

The Sembcorp Salalah Power and Water Company, in which Sembcorp Utilities holds a majority 60 per cent stake, will see its stake diluted by 35 per cent after the IPO, reports said.

Other stakeholders are Oman Investment Corporation with a 35 per cent stake, and Bahrain-based Instrata Capital with 5 per cent.

The Times of Oman reported this week that company officials have started discussions with the Capital Market Authority (CMA) on the share issue.
