The IPO of the NBFC comprises up to 178.20 crore equity shares of Rs 10 each, including fresh issue of 118.80 crore shares and offer for sale of 59.4 crore equity shares.
"IRFC coming up for listing with a Rs 4600 cr+ issue in a price band of Rs 25-26 per share. Anchor book on January 15 and the Main book from January 18-20," said Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Secretary, Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) on Twitter.
