Mumbai-based Lodha Developers has filed a draft red herring prospectus (DHRP) to raise Rs 2,500 crore through an initial public offering (IPO) with the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

The macrotech developer plans to use around Rs 1,500 crore from the net proceeds to repay debt and Rs 375 crore for buying land. The consolidated debt of the company was at Rs 18,662.19 crore as of December 2020.

The company expects a reduction in outstanding debt and hopes to maintain a favourable debt-equity ratio and enable utilisation of some additional amount from its internal accruals for further investment in business growth and expansion.

Additionally, an improvement in the company's debt equity ratio will enable it to raise further resources at competitive rates in the future to fund potential business development opportunities and plans to grow and expand the business in the future, according to the company.
