Shalimar Paints Approves Rs.1,000 Crore QIP
Shalimar Paints Ltd. has approved a fundraise of up to Rs.1,000 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The move is aimed at bringing in fresh capital and giving the company greater financial flexibility to pursue its growth plans.
The fundraise comes alongside a proposed investment in Hella Infra Market Limited, a technology-enabled building-materials platform, as Shalimar Paints seeks to expand its presence in the broader building-materials and infrastructure space.
