VA Tech Wabag is planning to raise Rs 120 crore from three marquee investors, including Rekha Jhunjhunwala (wife of ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala).

In an exchange filing, the Chennai-based water and sewage treatment company said its board had considered equity infusion on a preferential basis at Rs 160 apiece, which is at 30 percent discount to the stock’s closing price on August 25.

"This is the first time the company has proposed to raise equity capital since its IPO in 2010 and we believe that this well-timed equity infusion will provide the necessary growth capital for the company to scale greater heights. We look forward to a long-term association with each of the potential incoming investors," MD & Group CEO Rajiv Mittal said.

With its technology focus, asset-light model and global presence, the company is well-positioned to consolidate its leadership in the water technology sector, he said.

In the backdrop of growing awareness and need for sustainable businesses, across the world, the company is an ideal destination for global investors, especially for ESG focused investors, Mittal said.

Despite the approval of equity infusion plans, shares of VA Tech Wabag were trading at Rs 223, down 1.89 percent on the BSE.
