The company, known for its ultra-luxury redevelopment projects in Mumbai’s western suburbs, plans to raise the entire amount through a fresh issue with no offer-for-sale component. The IPO papers were filed in December 2024, and with the final approval in place, the glitzy real estate venture is now ready to enter the public market.
In a pre-IPO private placement in December, Sri Lotus raised ₹400 crore by issuing shares at ₹150 apiece. Shah Rukh Khan's Family Trust picked up 6.75 lakh shares for ₹10.1 crore, while Amitabh Bachchan invested ₹10 crore. Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn, Ektaa Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, Tiger Shroff, and Rajkummar Rao also joined the investor roster, with Ashish Kacholia taking the biggest slice of about ₹50 crore for over 33 lakh shares.
Led by industry veteran Anand Kamalnayan Pandit, Sri Lotus Developers has built a strong reputation in Mumbai’s premium property market. The firm focuses on 2BHK and 3BHK homes priced between ₹3 crore and ₹7 crore, as well as penthouses and 4 BHK homes in the ₹7 crore-plus range. The company’s financials show a meteoric rise, with revenue jumping from ₹166.87 crore in FY23 to ₹461.57 crore in FY24, a growth of nearly 177%. Profit after tax soared more than six times to ₹119.81 crore. For the first half of FY25 alone, revenue hit ₹243.42 crore with ₹90.63 crore in profit.
Out of the IPO proceeds, ₹550 crore will be allocated to its subsidiaries, including Richfeel, Dhyan Projects, and Tryksha, for ongoing projects like Amalfi, The Arcadian, and Varun. The remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes. Monarch Networth and Motilal Oswal are acting as the lead managers, while KFin Technologies will serve as the registrar for the IPO.
Sri Lotus Developers' success is a testament to the growing demand for premium real estate in Mumbai, driven by a combination of strategic investments and a strong market outlook. With the IPO on the horizon, the company is well-positioned to expand its footprint and continue delivering high-quality projects in one of India’s most vibrant cities.
