Bengaluru-based Denta Water and Infra Solutions Ltd has filed its draft red herring prospectus with Securities and Exchange Board of India to raise funds through initial public offering (IPO).
The public offer from a water engineering, procurement, and construction services provider is entirely a fresh issue of up to 75 lakh shares.
The proceeds from the fresh issue, to the extent of ₹150 crore, will be used to meet working capital requirements.
The company, in consultation with the lead bankers to the issue, may consider a further issue of equity shares on a private placement, rights issue, preferential issue, or any other method aggregating up to 11 lakh shares (pre-IPO placement). If such placement is completed, the fresh issue size will be reduced, it said.
