The Rs 5,550-crore IPO comprises fresh issue of shares amounting to Rs 300 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) aggregating up to Rs 5,250 crore by selling shareholder Singapore VII Topco III Pte Ltd, an affiliate of the Blackstone Group Inc, the report said.
Now, the size of the public issue has been reduced to Rs 5,550 crore from Rs 6,000 crore as it has been decided to offload Rs 5,250 crore shares through OFS against Rs 5,700 crore as planned earlier, the report said.
