The IPO includes about 98 million equity shares and an offer-for-sale of up to 14 million shares by International Finance Corporation (IFC) and up to 7.5 million shares by IFC FIG Investment Company.

The equity shares were proposed to be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India.
