Last year, the company acquired a manufacturing plant in North America to develop electric vehicles where it will manufacture products for the Fisker hybrid electric vehicle brand.
Earlier this month, Bharat FI received clearance from financial market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to raise around Rs 5,000 crore through an initial public offering (IPO).
The public listing of the company will consist of a new issue of shares up to Rs 2,502 crore and an offer for sale of shares up to Rs 2,502 crore by Foxconn promoter group subsidiary, Wonderful Stars.
“While we have always been able to fund our capital expenditures through capital contributions from promoter selling shareholder, Wonderful Stars, this may not be the case once we become a publicly traded company. We will need to fund our future growth from internal accruals and through external debt financing and equity fundraising,” the company said in its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP ).
