Jefferies India, ICICI Securities, Iifl Securities and J.P Morgan India were the book running lead managers, while Link Intime was the registrar to the offer.
IPO Objectives
Since the issue consisted exclusively of OFS component, the firm will not receive any proceeds to utilise towards funding capital expenditure requirements for purchase of construction equipment and general corporate purposes.
However, the firm will get benefits on listing in the public market which will enhance the brand’s visibility and provide liquidity to the shareholders.
