The company plans to raise Rs 3,500 crore and will issue 61,77,64,960, fully paid-up equity shares of the face value of Rs 2 each at Rs 50 per share for the same.

Multiplex major PVR has also recently floated a Rs 300 crore rights which opened for subscription on July 17 and will close on July 31. The price of the issue was fixed at Rs 784 per equity share.

The scrip has risen over 1 percent since PVR's board approved the issue. On a year-to-date basis, the stock of PVR is down over 44 percent.

Shriram Transport Finance launched its Rs 1,500 crore rights issue on 16 July at a price of Rs 570 per share. The stock of the company has since returned over 5 percent. The rights issue will close on 30 July.
