The real estate developer is planning to hit the primary market with an issue size of 94.29 lakh shares.

While the company has not disclosed how much fund it plans to raise from the IPO, it aims to use Rs 203 crore for acquiring land for its forthcoming projects. Besides, it also intends to spend Rs 172 crore for the repayment of loans. 

Besides, Rs 75 crore would be used for the construction of the realty firm's forthcoming projects in three years time.

Last year, the company had filed a DRHP but did not go ahead with the IPO due to volatile market conditions in the wake of global slowdown. 

The company is promoted by Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Company Ltd and Godrej Industries Ltd.
