capital market regulator’s approval to raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO). The Chennai based company had in April refiled draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for the IPO. It has obtained Sebi’s observation letter on July 18.
In the regulator’s parlance, its observations mean approval to launch the public issue. As per the revised DRHP, TVS Supply Chain Solutions IPO consists of a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating up to ₹750 crore and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of over 2 crore equity shares by promoters and existing shareholders. The company has reduced the fresh issue size from ₹2,000 crore earlier and the OFS from 5.9 crore shares earlier planned.
