Mittal will purchase 91 million common units of IPIT at the offering price that will be determined through a book building process, but would "not be obliged to subscribe and pay" for any of the units if the subscription cost exceeds 100.1 million Singapore dollars (about $73 million).
Indiabulls Real Estate, part of diversified Indiabulls group with interests in financial services, power, retail and realty businesses, last week filed a prospectus with Monetary Authority of Singapore for an initial public offer of IPIT, estimated to raise about $300 million.
IPIT is a business trust registered under the laws of Singapore and is making an offer of its units to public and institutional investors and the IPO is expected to be priced towards the end of the month.
Investment by Mittal family, which has already invested in a host of other units of Indiabulls group, in IPIT is being routed through Mauritius-based Wellmark Investments Ltd.
