Gammon Infrastructure Projects may raise Rs 500 crore through the qualified
institutional placement (QIP) route, as per sources.
The capital outlay of the company's 18 projects is expected to exceed Rs
10,000 crore. Gammon’s projects worth Rs 4,700 crore have already achieved
financial closure, while projects worth another Rs 1,250 crore are to achieve
financial closure by March 2010.
The company had infused Rs 1,900 crore by way of equity and debt to
part-finance its capex plans. However, to implement the remaining projects the
company is expected to have to raise Rs 500 crore of its own resource towards
equity contribution in the SPVs.
The company is yet to achieve financial closure for Rangit II Hydro Electric
project in West Sikkim, Pravara co-generation power project in Maharashtra and
Paradip Iron Ore berth project at Paradip Port.
