“The Institutional Placement was launched on April 7, 2022, and witnessed strong response from both existing as well as new institutional investors, including global and domestic funds, with nearly ~50% of the demand from new investors and 70%+ of the book allocated to long-only investors,” Indiabulls Real Estate informed in an exchange filing.

The company said it proposes to maintain sufficient liquidity and use the net proceeds for various purposes, including but not limited to capital expenditure (including the acquisition of land, land development rights or development rights), long-term working capital, refinancing/repayment/pre-payment of the borrowings of the company and its subsidiaries and general corporate purposes.
