The initial public offering (IPO) of Macrotech Developers, earlier known as Lodha Developers, will be open from April 7-9. The company has priced it between Rs 483 and Rs 486 per equity share.
The IPO comprises fresh issuance of equity shares worth Rs 2,500 crore. Macrotech plans to utilise the offer proceeds to reduce its borrowings amounting up to Rs 1,500 crore and for acquiring land or land developmental rights of up to Rs 375 crore. The rest will be spent on general corporate purposes.
At the top-end of the price band, Macrotech will have a post-diluted market capitalisation of Rs 21,740 crore. The Mumbai-based developer will become the third biggest listed realty company — behind DLF and Godrej Properties and slightly ahead of Oberoi Realty.
