Issue Structure and Utilisation of Proceeds

The public offer was priced in a band of Rs 172 to Rs 182 per share with a face value of Rs 2 each. Investors could bid for a minimum lot of 82 equity shares and in multiples thereafter. Prior to the opening of the public issue, the company had garnered Rs 128.37 crore from anchor investors.

The IPO consisted of:

• A fresh issue of equity shares worth up to Rs 60 crore.
• An offer for sale (OFS) of 2,02,13,722 shares valued at Rs 367.89 crore at the upper end of the price band.
