Following the investment, the public investors will own 70% of the company, promoters will hold 23% of the company, while Varde with 7%.

It has been looking to monetize the company's assets to reduce its debt. It closed the sale of its Delhi-Agra toll road project in January to private equity investor I Squared Capital's Indian roads platform Cube Highways for an enterprise value of Rs 3,600 crore.
