The floor price for the QIP has been set at ₹4,798.28 per equity share, calculated as per SEBI's ICDR Regulations. The board has also fixed July 7, 2025, as the relevant date for the issue. As per shareholder approval obtained earlier, the company may offer up to a 5% discount on the floor price, and the final issue price will be determined in consultation with the book running lead manager.
