Kotak Mahindra Capital Co., ICICI Securities Ltd., Intensive Fiscal Services Pvt., Jefferies India Pvt., JP Morgan India Pvt. and Morgan Stanley India Co. are the book-running lead managers for the issue and KFin Technologies will be the registrar of the issue.
Vishal Mega Mart will not receive any proceeds from the IPO as it only includes an OFS.
In July, the Securities and Exchange Board of India had returned the IPO draft documents of Vishal Mega Mart due to non-compliance with the regulation that stated that the issuer needs to make an application with one or more stock exchanges to seek an in-principle approval for listing.
