Infrastructure Development Finance Company is planning to hit the capital markets by June end to fund its capital requirements.

It will shortly launch a second infrastructure development fund with a corpus of about Rs 1,300 crore (Rs 13 billion).

"We are planning to launch an initial public offering depending on the market conditions by June which will include pro-rata dilution of the existing shareholders and have new investors on the board," Rajeev Lall, CEO and managing director, IDFC said.

He, however, did not divulge details about the size of the IPO but said "in the Indian scheme of things it will be a substantial offering."

Lall said the government, which has about 35 per cent stake would continue to be the single largest shareholder, though its stake would come down.

Under the IPO, which would be part primary and part secondary, there would be pro-rata sale of stake by existing shareholders while new investors would also pick up equity.

The company would launch the second infrastructure fund with a corpus of about Rs 1,300 crore and the amount would be raised in the next 8-10 months.

The fund will have maximum overseas participation and the company has committed bulk of its earlier Rs 850 crore (Rs 8.5 billion) India Development Fund to over five projects, he said.

"We are in the pre-marketing stage and would soon launch the marketing for the second fund," he added.
