These shares will be transferred by NSE Investments (38,400 shares) and Great Terrain (61,08,400 shares) at Rs 1,230 per equity share, to insurance companies and mutual funds, as per the RHP.

According to people familiar with the IPO development, the higher end of IPO price band could be Rs 1,250 per share and the issue size approximately Rs 2,258 crore, while one can bid for minimum 12 equity shares and in multiples of 12 equity shares thereafter.
