IndiGrid, one of the only two infrastructure trusts listed in India, needs fresh capital to fuel its growth strategy. It is likely to raise up to Rs 3,000 crore through preferential allotment of shares to institutional investors. The company will utilise the funds to acquire new assets.
IndiGrid owns ten assets including 8 transmission lines and two substations. It had bought Patran Transmission for Rs 232 crore in September last year.
Launch of the book is expected this week, the sources told CNBC-TV18. KKR and GIC are expected to buy units at Rs 83-84/unit and may own 40 per cent stake in IndiGrid post the issue.
KKR, GIC and IndiGrid did not offer any comment to CNBC-TV18’s query.
