The initial share sale had a price band for the offer at Rs 66-70 per share.

In the equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 293.4 points to reach a fresh lifetime high of 83,184.34. The NSE Nifty jumped 89.2 points to hit a new record peak of 25,445.70.

The share sale was conducted to comply with the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) regulations, which require upper-layer non-banking finance companies to be listed on stock exchanges by September 2025.

Proceeds from the fresh issue will be used to augment the company's capital base to meet future capital requirements.

It is a non-deposit-taking housing finance company registered with the National Housing Bank in September 2015.

The firm offers financial solutions for purchasing and renovating residential and commercial properties.

It has been identified and categorised as an "upper layer" NBFC by the RBI in India and its comprehensive mortgage products include home loans, loans against property, lease rental discounting and developer financing.
