The shares of Hathway closed at Rs 175.50 today, down by 7.68% on a day when the BSE also fell by 1.35%. Hathway, which debuted on the exchanges earlier this year, is currently trading at a discount to its issue price of Rs 240.

ChrysCap, which held a 13.26% stake in Hathway before the IPO, had made a partial exit during the issue by selling around 7% stake for Rs 173 crore. With today's exit, this amounts to overall returns of around Rs 333 crore on an investment of Rs 264 crore made in April 2007.

Hathway had raised around Rs 700 crore from the issue and planned to use around half of the money for customer acquisitions besides investments for set top boxes and other infrastructure and some debt repayment. The firm had revenues of Rs 672 crore during 2008-09 with net loss of Rs 62 crore.
