The company has issued and allotted about 42.42 crore equity shares to qualified institutional buyers at an issue price of Rs 82.50 per equity share (including a premium of Rs 72.50 a share), amounting to about Rs 3,500 crore.
DSP Merrill Lynch and Citigroup Global Markets India acted as global co-ordinators and book running lead managers to the issue.
