Even promoters subscribed to 8 lakh shares at Rs.225 per share.
The equity of the company is increasing from Rs.12.85 crores to Rs.16.45 crores, while its business would see a rise of about 200% to 300%. The company would be creating tangible assets which would strengthen the balance sheet of the company.
