Kolkata-based Dream Gateway Hotels, part of realty Jain Group, will raise Rs 30.51 crore through its maiden public offer by early July to fund expansion, a top company official said today.
The company currently owns only one hotel, Holiday Inn Airport Kolkata, and the entire proposed proceeds will be invested in the existing 137 room property for further expansion following excellent response since unveiling of this property, Dream Gateway Hotels director Shrayans Jain said here.
The company is going ahead with the proposed fixed price IPO issue despite pricing expectations were much lower at Rs 90 per share against previous expectations of Rs 140 per share.
"We have arrived at the pricing of Rs 90 per share based on the feedbacks by the Merchant bankers. That (Rs 140/share) price was based on aspiration at that point of time," Jain Group ED Rishi Jain said.
The shares would be listed on the BSE SME platform issuing fresh 32.21 lakh shares of Rs 10 each to investors and additional 1.7lakh shares to market maker at a price of Rs 90 per share.
In BSE sme platform, market maker is a must for each company to offer liquidity to the investors.
