Hyderabad: Tata Technologies, which provides engineering and product development digital services, on Thursday fixed the price band at Rs475 per share to Rs 500 per share for its Rs3,042 crore initial public offering (IPO).

The issue will fetch Rs 2,890.4 crore and Rs 3,042.5 crore at the lower and upper end of the price band respectively.

Axis Capital has pegged the post-issue market cap between Rs 19,269 crore and Rs 20,283 crore. Half of the issue size has been reserved for qualified institutional investors, 35 per cent for retail investors, and the remaining 15 per cent for non-institutional investors. Investors can bid for a minimum of 35 equity shares and in multiples thereof. Last month, Tata Motors inked a pact to sell a 9.9 per cent stake in Tata Technologies to TPG Rise Climate for Rs1,613.7 crore. JM Financial, Citigroup Global Markets, and BofA Securities are the book-running lead managers to advise the company on the IPO.
