Luthra and Luthra Delhi capital markets partner Madhurima Mukherjee and managing associate Geeta Dhania acted DLF’s third biggest fundraising ever by DLF, according to Mint, and possibly the country’s biggest ever fundraising through the IPP route, according to Economic Times.
Amarchand Mangaldas Delhi capital markets partner Prashant Gupta, principal associate Sayantan Dutta, senior associate Shatarupa Dasgupta, and associates Shraddha Krishnan, Sugandha Kapur and Ishita Khandelwal acted for the book runners on Indian law.
Linklaters partner Arun Balasubramanian and associate Jitesh Shahani advised from Singapore.
The issue was made in order to comply with the Securities Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI) directive on shareholding norms which requires 25 per cent minimum public shareholding. Honeywell, NTPC, and Fortis Healthcare also recently offloaded shares to comply with this requirement.

Kian - what about the DEN deal? It was a simultaneous QIP and PE. The transaction involved multiple law firms and their M&A and Capital Markets teams. This should get reported.
