JSW Cement has finalized its preparations for its Initial Public Offering (IPO). The IPO will open to the public on August 7th and will be available for investment until August 11th. The total size of this IPO is ₹3600 crore, which includes a fresh issue (new equity) of ₹1600 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of ₹2000 crore, through which existing shareholders will sell their shares.
Earlier, the company had planned to raise ₹4000 crore, but this has been reduced to ₹3600 crore in recent documents.
Anchor Investors' Bidding on August 6th
While general investors will have the opportunity to invest in the IPO from August 7th, large investors, i.e., anchor investors, will be able to bid on August 6th itself. This is a type of primary process that determines how much initial interest the IPO is receiving from the market.
Who is Selling Shares in Which Portion
In the OFS (Offer For Sale) portion of this IPO, several major investors are going to sell their shares.
- Apollo Management will sell shares worth approximately ₹931.80 crore through its affiliate company AP Asia Opportunistic Holdings Pvt Ltd.
- Synergy Metals Investments Holdings Ltd will sell shares worth ₹938.50 crore.
- SBI (State Bank of India) will also offer shares worth ₹129.70 crore in this IPO.
Where Will the Money from the IPO be Used
JSW Cement will use ₹800 crore from the amount raised in this IPO to establish a new integrated cement unit in the Nagaur district of Rajasthan. This unit is considered a major step in terms of increasing the company's production capacity.
In addition, the company will use approximately ₹520 crore to repay or prepay its old debts. This will strengthen the company's balance sheet and may reduce interest costs. The remaining amount will be used by the company for its corporate needs.
