Adani’s Cemindia is said to near up to $524 million share sale

The company, formerly known as ITD Cementation India Ltd., has been meeting institutional investors and could launch the qualified institutional placement in the coming days, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. ICICI Securities Ltd. and SBI Capital Markets Ltd. are working on the transaction, they said.

Deliberations are ongoing and details including the timing and size of the offering could change, the people said. Representatives for Cemindia Projects and the banks didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The company’s board on July 23 approved raising as much as 50 billion rupees through the issuance of equity shares via a qualified institutional placement.

India’s equity capital market is on track for its strongest month on record despite a lackluster stock market, fueled by a flurry of block trades and institutional placements. Almost $10 billion of deals have priced in August, led by the government’s $3.2 billion sale of shares in Life Insurance Corp. of India, as ample domestic liquidity continues to support demand for new stock.
