FAQs

When did the company file its Updated DRHP?

The Updated DRHP was filed on 4 December 2025, following an initial confidential draft submitted earlier in June 2025. This updated document provides revised financial details, risk factors, and IPO terms for regulatory review.

The public offering is expected to raise approximately ₹656.2 crores, as detailed in the updated draft. This amount reflects the combined size of the fresh issue and the offer for sale.

Out of the total planned issue, ₹549.2 crores is earmarked as a fresh issue of shares, while ₹107 crores represents an offer for sale by existing shareholders. This structure helps the company raise new capital while enabling partial exits for current investors.

According to the updated filing, the proceeds will support sponsor commitments to various funds, repayment of bridge loans, and general corporate purposes. These allocations are intended to strengthen the firm’s capital position and operational flexibility.

This offering is notable because it represents the first time a standalone Indian private equity firm is seeking to list publicly. The move highlights the sector’s growing maturity and opens a new path for private equity platforms to access public capital markets.
