Inox to raise over Rs. 700 crore by listing wind turbine business.

Multiplex-to-industrial gases conglomerate Inox Group plans to list its wind turbine manufacturing business run under the Inox Wind nameplate to raise about Rs. 700 crore as the primary component, and a secondary component of sale of two crore equity shares by its promoters Gujarat Fluorochemicals through an offer for sale.

'The quantum of the second component will be decided only after the price band is fixed. So the total issue size will be decided only after the valuation,' Devansh Jain, director of Inox Wind, told TOI.

Inox Group's two listed entities Gujarat Fluorochemicals and Inox Leisure command a combined market capitalization of over Rs. 10,000 crore and Inox Wind will become the third listed entity of the group to tap the positive regulatory environment in the wind turbine manufacturing sector with the new government at the Centre.

This leaves the Inox Group with three unlisted firms - India's leading industrial gas company Inox Air Products, India's largest cryogenic technology company Inox India, and Inox Renewables which is engaged in the business of setting up and operating of wind farms.
