New Delhi: Yatharth Hospital & Trauma Care on Saturday said it has raised Rs 120 crore from institutional investors in a pre-IPO placement round, leading to a reduction in the fresh issue size in the upcoming initial share-sale. "Our company, in consultation with the book running lead managers, has undertaken a pre-IPO placement of 40 lakh equity shares for cash for Rs 300 per equity share aggregating to Rs 1,200 million (pre-IPO placement)," Yatharth Hospital said in a public notice.
