The company aims to raise a total of Rs 2,900 crore, via a Rs 2,350 crore fresh issue and a Rs 505 crore offer for sale. Around Rs 1,800 crore of this issue will be used as an investment in the company's subsidiaries in order to repay or prepay its outstanding borrowings. The balance will be used for general corporate purposes.
