The issue has a face value of Rs 10 per equity share for the proposed share sale. The offer is being made through the Book Building Process, wherein not more than 50 per cent of the offer will be available for allocation to qualified institutional buyers, not less than 15 per cent to non-institutional bidders and not less than 35 per cent to retail individual bidders.
The proceeds from its fresh issuance worth Rs 1,400 crore will be used for the repayment or prepayment of borrowings, and Rs 463.90 crore will be used to finance the opening of eight new showrooms, besides general corporate purposes.
