It is a partial exit by the existing shareholders to meet the listing regulations.
JM Financial Ltd. and Kotak Mahindra Capital Company Ltd. are the book-running lead managers for the issue, and KFin Technologies Ltd. is the registrar.
Earlier, the company had filed its IPO papers with the Securities and Exchange Board of India in September 2019 and obtained the markets regulator's approval in November 2019 to float the initial share sale, but the company did not go ahead with the launch.
The Gurugram-based company may consider a private placement of equity shares aggregating up to Rs 200 crore in a pre-IPO placement. If such placement is completed, the fresh issue size will be reduced.
The company will utilise the net proceeds of the fresh issue to the tune of Rs 750 crore towards the payment of debt and for general corporate purposes.
