IPO bound Paras Healthcare raises Rs 652.50 crore from anchor investors as issue set to open on October 21

Paras Healthcare has raised Rs 652.50 crore from anchor investors ahead of its initial public offering, with the issue scheduled to open on October 21.

Anchor fundraising precedes public issue

The healthcare company’s anchor-investor fundraising comes before the opening of its IPO. The development places the pre-issue capital mobilisation ahead of the company’s planned public offering.

Anchor investors are investors allocated shares before an IPO opens to other participants. Paras Healthcare’s Rs 652.50 crore raise therefore marks a funding milestone immediately before the issue enters the public market.
