Rishabh Instruments files draft papers with Sebi to mobilise funds via IPO

Rishabh Instruments, a global energy efficiency solution company, has filed preliminary papers with markets regulator Sebi to mop-up funds through an initial public offering (IPO).

The IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating to up to Rs 75 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) for up to 94.17 lakh equity shares by its promoter group shareholders and an existing investor, according to its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP).

It is one of the leading companies in terms of manufacturing and supply of low voltage current transformers and analog panel meters.

The equity shares of the company are proposed to be listed on both – NSE and BSE.

DAM Capital Advisors, Mirae Asset Capital Markets (India) and Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Ltd are the book-running lead managers to the issue.
