Mumbai-based construction firm Capacit’e Infraprojects Ltd has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India for an initial public offering to raise up to Rs 400 crore ($62 million).
The IPO comprises only a fresh issue of shares and the company’s shareholders are not selling any stake, according to the prospectus.
VCCircle had reported the company’s plans for an IPO in August last year.
Capacit’e is backed by private equity firms Paragon Partners and NewQuest Capital Partners as well as investment firm Infina Finance Pvt. Ltd. Paragon was floated by Siddharth Parekh, the younger son of Housing Development and Finance Corp chairman Deepak Parekh.
NewQuest focuses on emerging markets and invests in infrastructure sectors including power, roads, construction and logistics. Infina, which is jointly owned by Kotak Mahindra Bank and the Kotak family, is a limited partner—or investor—in Paragon Partners.
