Max Estates, a real estate developer in Delhi NCR, has raised ₹800 crore through a successful Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The QIP was priced at ₹597.50 per equity share representing a 4.97% discount on the Floor Price of ₹628.74 per equity share.
The newly raised capital will be utilized for the acquisition of land, interests in land, and land development rights, furthering Max Estates’ growth and expansion plans.
Additionally, the Board of Max Estates approved a fundraise of up to ₹150 crores, subject to approval of the shareholders, by way of preferential issue of convertible warrants to Max Ventures Investment Holdings Private Limited (one of our promoters) and Sunil Vachani, Chairman of Dixon Technologies (India) Limited.
The capital raise comes close after recently, New York Life Insurance Company (NYL) recently invested in Max Estates and bought 49% of Max Towers and Max House, two key commercial real estate assets of the company.
The capital raised through QIP, the preferential allotment and the investment from NYL, will cumulatively provide INR 1300 Crore as fresh equity funding to Max Estates to scale up its business and accelerate its growth plans.
