The issue comprises fresh equity sale of ₹2,000 crore and offer for sale (OFS) of ₹2,000 crore.
The funds are to be used to set up a cement unit in Nagaur district of Rajasthan, repay certain borrowings and for other general purposes.
The company said that it will invest ₹3,000 crore for the greenfield Rajasthan unit, and said it plans to expand into the North and Central India markets, as its current presence is mainly in Southeast and West India.
