Overview of Gaurs Group’s IPO Plans
NCR-based Gaurs Group is currently undergoing a restructuring process aimed at launching an Initial Public Offering (IPO). This strategic move is designed to generate funds necessary for the construction of a significant commercial project in Noida, as well as for potential new acquisitions. The company has been operational for 30 years and has established itself as a prominent player in the real estate sector.
Details of the Commercial Project
The primary focus of the IPO will be to finance a large-scale commercial development that encompasses approximately 5 million square feet. Gaurs Group has acquired 18 acres of land in Sector 129, Noida, where this ambitious project is set to take place. The planned development will include:
Retail Space: About 2.5 million square feet dedicated to retail.
Office Space: Approximately 2 million square feet allocated for A-Grade office space.
Additional Facilities: The project will also feature a convention center and a hotel.
The total investment required for this commercial venture is estimated to be around ₹3,000 crore (approximately $360 million). This project is anticipated to be one of the largest retail developments in Noida.
Restructuring Process and Timeline
Before proceeding with the IPO, Gaurs Group must complete its restructuring efforts. This involves consolidating several companies under a unified corporate structure. Manoj Gaur, the chairman and managing director of Gaurs Group, indicated that this restructuring could take about 1.5 years before they can officially launch the IPO. The company aims to initiate the IPO process within one or two years from now.
Financial Strategy and Debt Management
To support its growth initiatives, including this commercial project and other luxury developments, Gaurs Group plans to leverage funds raised through the IPO. Currently, the company carries a debt load of approximately ₹1,300 crore (around $156 million), which it intends to reduce by utilizing expected receivables of ₹4,500 crore (about $540 million) from sold projects.
In addition to its commercial ambitions in Noida, Gaurs Group is also looking into launching more luxury residential projects in Ghaziabad and other areas. Their recent success with luxury housing—such as selling out 1,200 apartments in just three days—demonstrates strong demand in their target markets.
