Waaree Energies IPO size
Waaree Energies IPO comprises a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 3,600 crore, and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 4.8 million shares by promoters and existing shareholders. The OFS includes Waaree Sustainable Finance, a promoter entity, selling 4.35 million shares, and Chandurkar Investments, another shareholder, offloading 450,000 shares.
The company has not yet announced the price band and lot size for the IPO.
Waaree Energies IPO objective
The company outlines in the RHP that it will not receive any proceeds from the offer for sale. However, Waaree Energies proposes to utilise the net proceeds from the fresh issue to partly finance the cost of establishing a 6 GW Ingot Wafer, Solar Cell, and Solar PV Module manufacturing facility in Odisha, India, by investing in its wholly owned subsidiary, Sangam Solar One. The remaining amount will be used for general corporate purposes.
In addition to the above objectives, Waaree Energies also expects to benefit from the listing of its equity shares on stock exchanges and the creation of a public market for the company’s equity shares in India.
