With a valuation of about ₹9000 crores, Wadhwa is planning to raise funds of ₹2500 to ₹2000 crores. However, the final price of the IPO has not been decided yet and can be changed at the time of the IPO launch, market conditions, and investors’ interest in the IPO.
According to the sources, the company is working on the preparation of the draft papers and might submit the DRHP to SEBI in the next month.
The proceeds raised from the issue will be utilized to repay the existing debt taken by the company, and the funds will be used for the development of new residential and commercial projects.
ICICI Securities, JM Financial, and DAM Capital are the chosen investment banks for the public issue.
