Real Estate player JMD Promoters Ltd is planning to come out with an initial public offering to fund its construction activities across the country. The company is developing a range of properties that it would be constructing in different parts of the country, including an IT park in Goa.

"We are in the process of consolidating our company since each of our projects is handled by a different company in the group. We expect to come out with an IPO in about six months," said Mr Ramneet Trehan, Vice-President, Marketing, JMD Promoters Ltd.

The consolidation of the group companies would be in place in about two to three months, he added.

The IT park being developed by the company in Goa will be spread over an area of 50 acres. "We are currently in the process of designing the park. The development will start in a couple of months," said Mr Trehan. The 30-lakh sq ft constructed part of the park will be given out to gaming, software developing and hardware producing firms. The total investment in this project will be in the Rs 300-400 crore range.

The project in Panipat will be spread over an area of 20 acres. Around 1,000 apartments each of 2,000 sq. ft will be constructed in about three years. "The apartments will cater to the growth of both Panipat and Karnal. We are awaiting the licenses and construction should start in a few months," said Mr Trehan.

In Jaipur, the company is developing about 800-1000 apartments in 17 acres of land. The apartments being developed by JMD in both the cities will have clubbing and other modern facilities. Each of the housing projects would require an investment of Rs 300 crore.
