Upcoming IPO: GEF Capital Partners-backed EPack Prefab Technologies files DRHP with SEBI for public issue

Upcoming IPO: EPack Prefab Technologies has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offer.

Backed by GEF Capital Partners, EPack Prefab Technologies is a mix of fresh share sale worth ₹300 crore and an offer for sale of up to 10 million equity shares of face value of ₹2 by the promoters and selling shareholders.

The company may consider raising up to ₹60 crore as part of the pre-IPO placement, which, if completed, will lower the amount EPack Prefab is looking to raise via the fresh share sale.

It plans to use the funds raised via fresh issue for capex and repayment of borrowings. According to the company's DRHP, ₹101.62 crore will be used for setting up a new facility in Alwar, Rajasthan for manufacturing continuous Sandwich Insulated Panels and pre-engineered steel buildings; ₹58.10 crore for expansion of the existing manufacturing facility at Mambattu in Andhra Pradesh; ₹70 crore for repayment and/or pre-payment of certain borrowings availed by the company; and the remaining for general corporate purposes.

In the IPO, not more than 50% of the net offer is allocated to qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), and not less than 15% is reserved for non-institutional investors (NIIs) and not less than 35% for retail individual bidders.
