The Rs 5,000-crore IPO comprises a fresh issue of 8.8 crore shares amounting to Rs 1,500 crore and an offer-for-sale worth Rs 3,500 crore by the promoter—Niyogi Enterprise Pvt., part of the Nirma group.
The company plans to use the IPO's proceeds to pare debt worth Rs 1,350 crore. It had total borrowings of Rs 7,642 crore as on March 31.
