Kalpataru IPO: Real Estate Developer Files Draft Papers with SEBI to Raise Rs 1,590 Crore
Real Estate Mumbai:Mumbai-based real estate developer Kalpataru has filed a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the capital markets regulator SEBI to raise Rs 1,590 crore via an initial public offering.

The IPO comprises solely a fresh issuance of equity shares worth Rs 1,590 crore with no offer-for-sale component. Hence, the entire issue proceeds (excluding IPO expenses) will be utilised by the company for itself.

The repayment of Rs 1,192.5 crore debt is the main objective of the public issue. The remaining fresh issue money will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Mofatraj P Munot and Parag M Munot-promoted company had a total debt of Rs 10,747.69 crore as of June 2024. It is a part of the Kalpataru Group established in 1969. Kalpataru Projects International, Property Solutions (India), and Shree Shubham Logistics are other companies in the group.

However, Kalpataru posted a consolidated net loss of Rs 113.8 crore for the fiscal 2024, narrowing from the loss of Rs 226.8 crore in the previous year, while there was volatility in the topline. Consolidated revenue for the year gone by fell 47 percent to Rs 1,930 crore, compared to Rs 3,633.2 crore in the previous fiscal 2023.
